RE: Screw-in steps, ladders, or sticks?
I have used screwins for over 25 years. The only screwin steps I completely trust are Cranford Ezy Climb rod steps. They don't fold so they are a little bulky, but fit in my fanny pack just fine. But for ease of use and quickness, Lone Wolf climbing sticks or Ameristep aluminum rapid rails are on my list.
