Abstract:
A modular ladder for mounting to a tree or pole includes a plurality of separate sections, each of which can be separately mounted to the tree or pole. Each of the separate tree mountable sections includes an upper step, a lower step, and a rigid frame element connecting the upper and lower steps. A flexible mounting element is used to secure the frame element to the tree or pole. Each of the steps projects radially outwardly from the tree when mounted, making it easier to use the steps in climbing the tree or pole. The steps each have a slot formed therein for permitting the nesting of the separate tree mountable sections one against another. In this way, the separate sections can be compactly configured for storage and carrying. Each of the steps is large enough to accommodate the user's two feet in side-by-side relationship. In this way, the user is not required to balance on only one foot while standing on the steps. The upper and lower steps are spaced apart by about two to three feet.
