APEX Ladder System — 5-Pack with Holster
Solid steel that bites harder, climbs quieter, and won't break — backed by a 1-year warranty. This is buy-it-once climbing gear for saddle and mobile hunters.
PATENT PENDING 1-YEAR WARRANTY WON'T BREAK 1,900-LB RATED ROPE HOLSTER INCLUDED
The APEX Ladder System from STALK Outdoor Gear is a set of steel climbing steps built for saddle hunting and mobile, run-and-gun setups — a rugged, modular alternative to traditional climbing sticks, featuring our patent-pending V-Press crossbar. Built from 1/2" x 1/2" hot-rolled square steel tubing, each step is engineered to take a beating and keep performing, season after season.
Why hunters choose the APEX Ladder System over sticks
- They don't break. Solid steel — no carbon to crack, no aluminum to bend. Backed by a 1-year warranty.
- Aggressive bite. Engineered standoffs dig into even the toughest bark and lock in without slipping or shifting.
- Tight to the tree. The signature patent-pending V-Press crossbar keeps you close and confident, with freedom to move when it matters.
- Quiet & packable. The custom ABS holster keeps the APEX Ladder System organized and secured tightly to minimize rattle and noise.
- Real value. Premium performance at a fraction of the price of carbon or titanium sticks.
More than a hunting tool — a mobile ladder & survival system
The APEX Ladder System isn't just for getting up a tree. It's a modular steel platform that solves problems all over the property and the backcountry:
- Hang a hammock. Set two steps on opposing trees and string up a hammock for a fast, off-the-ground camp. (Pairs perfectly with the STALK hammock.)
- A rock-solid tie-off. Folks have used them to tie off horses, secure a boat, and anchor gear — anywhere you need a strong, dependable hold.
- Camp & utility access. A packable mobile ladder for camp chores, property work, and getting in and out of tight spots.
- Trusted beyond hunting. From saddle hunters to fire crews, people reach for STALK when they need gear that just works and won't let them down.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do they break?
No. They're solid steel — nothing to crack like carbon or bend like aluminum. That's why we back them with a 1-year warranty.
What's the warranty?
Every APEX Ladder System is backed by a 1-year warranty. Built from solid steel to keep performing season after season.
Can I use these for more than hunting?
Absolutely. It's a modular steel system — hang a hammock between two trees, use it as a tie-off for animals, boats, or gear, or run it as a packable mobile ladder for camp and utility access. It's a true all-around survival tool.
Are these climbing sticks or climbing steps?
Technically they're modular steel steps (rungs), not a traditional multi-step climbing stick — but they do the same job: getting you up the tree for saddle or mobile hunting. Think of them as a tougher, more configurable, more affordable alternative to climbing sticks.
Are these good for saddle hunting?
Yes — the aggressive standoff bite and V-Press crossbar make them a stable, mobile platform for saddle hunters and mobile tree-stand hunters alike.
How many do I need?
Most saddle hunters run 3–4 steps for a typical climb, so this 5-pack covers most hunts with a spare. Need more height or a second setup? Check out the 10-pack.
Are they quiet?
The rope-and-standoff system keeps metal-on-metal noise down for stealthy climbs into the tree.
Patent pending.
