The Black Diamond 5-Step Etrier is a streamlined, high-efficiency big-wall ladder engineered for rapid vertical progression and reliable footing on technical aid lines. Built from ultra-rugged, abrasion-resistant nylon webbing, its clean five-step layout provides an optimal balance of vertical reach and weight savings. Each step wall is specially reinforced to stay open under tension, allowing for effortless boot placement, while the integrated top grab handle and reinforced anchor loop ensure maximum control during critical shifts in body weight.
