I reckon those aiders would be good for seconding a pitch, I don't know how they would go leading. Seems like a bit of faffing around would be required to learn to use them. I've read those metolious buckles are pretty weak too

I have used BD aiders and Alpine aiders before and switched to Yates ladders a few years ago, they are more expensive but simple and fast to use plus pretty burly, the spreader bar helps a lot keeping the steps open, I was instantly much quicker on aid when I switched to these. Highly recommended as a first etrier

I recently tried out the Yates Daisy's and I'm not 100% convinced on them yet, they are good for adjusting your daisy length when jumaring though.

I'll have my rack and ladders down at the weekend for people to borrow,
