Rod of Climbing (Magic Rod)

This item is similar in appearance to a rod of lordly might and can be used by any character class. When a concealed stud is pressed, a spike that magically pierces and anchors in any solid rock extends from one end of the rod, while the other end sprouts three sharp hooks. The rod then lengthens 5 to 50 feet in a single round, stopping when a second stud is pushed. Horizontal bars, 3 inches long, fold out from the sides, 1 foot apart, in staggered progression. The rod is firmly held by the spike and hooks and bears up to 4,000 pounds of weight. It completely retracts by pushing a third stud.
The rod can also be used to force open doors. (The rod's base spike is planted 30 inches or less from the portal to be forced, and in line with it, then the rod is extended). The force exerted is equal to storm giant strength.
