It should not be put directly in a map because It is automatically created from func_ladder by VBSP.

func_simpleladder is an entity available in Left 4 Dead series. It is used to designate climbable ladder areas. func_ladder brushes are automatically converted to this entity by VBSP during map compile. It doesn't exist in the FGD and is not designed to be created by Hammer.

Important:This is a preserved entity in .
If the game has round restart mechanics this entity may not behave as expected:

More info

On a new round entities with this classname will intentionally not reset. You can use logic_auto to emulate resetting it. Killing it removes it forever, as it is not respawned on a new round. It cannot be spawned with a point_template. Parenting this with non-preserved entities may have undesirable effects.

AltNames: This entity is also tied to info_ladder.
