Why We Like The Metolius Pocket Aider
On mixed routes when we're aiding for just a pitch or two, we clip the Metolius Pocket Aider to our harness. This ultralight ladder stores compactly inside its integrated pouch, staying out of our way rather than getting tangled in our 'draws and pro, yet it comes out ready to play when the wall gets blank.

Great for a backup plan
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I do a lot of TR soloing, occasionally I'll rap down a wall I can't climb back up. That's where these bad boys come in. I'll use these with a jumar to get back up or past a crux I can't figure out. The pocket keeps everything nice and clean until I need to break them out. But for hardcore aiding, these are not well suited. Plenty of the reviews touch on the issues with the top step. But for my purpose, I love em!
