The RAD Ladder is an engaging climbing accessory designed to expand and challenge your child’s gross motor play. Inspired by the work of German educator Elfriede Hengstenberg, this ladder encourages strength, coordination, and confident movement through purposeful climbing.
Designed to complement RAD climbing structures, the Ladder easily hooks onto any Pikler Triangle, Climbing Arch, or Play Cube. It can be set at an angle to create a more advanced climbing ramp, or used to bridge between two structures to form a climbing pathway. These configurations invite children to experiment with balance, grip strength, and body control as their skills develop.
Best suited for children who are ready for more complex movement challenges, the RAD Ladder supports progression in gross motor skills and dexterity while remaining approachable and open ended. Children who crave increased difficulty will naturally gravitate toward the ladder as they test limits and refine coordination.
Handmade in our shop from premium Baltic birch wood, the RAD Ladder reflects RAD’s commitment to thoughtful design, sturdy construction, and quality materials. Each ladder supports at least 100 pounds per child and is built for repeated, active use.
While designed to encourage exploration and free form movement, children should always be supervised during play to ensure safe use.
