My Yates ladders seem pretty close to the grave. Looks like webbing between the spreader bar and the 1st step is semi sawed thru. Has anyone tried to fix this? 99% of the ladder is fine , just one section of webbing needs to be replaced or reinforced. [photo[photo[photoid=534548]id=534548]id=534547]

Any suggestions on where I could send these?

It looks like Yates is out of the climbing gear business... at least what I'm seeing on the web site?

News to me as I still recommend them for stuff... Good guys and they make/made great stuff.

If you send them to me and pay for shipping both ways I'll fix them for free. Interested? Email me.

Send it to Russ@FishProducts.com

The email service on this site sorta dont work...

Yeah, I looked a while back and did not see any climbing gear on the site... unless I'm looking at the wrong site for Yates? Looked again and did not see a link on the rescue end of their current site.

Yeah, those guys made climbing gear as a favor to the climbing community.

Far more $ in government contracts.


Try to see if brave cowboy still has Kyle's bar tacker. He might could fix it.

I emailed Yates on Friday about no climbing gear displayed on their website, and got this reply this morning:

We do indeed still make climbing gear. Unfortunately our Yates website has been under construction for awhile now and a lot of the tabs are not showing up. I can help you with whatever you need.
