func_simpleladder
is an entity available in Left 4 Dead series. It is used to make ladder brush climbable from only one side based on its normal.x/y/z keyvalues and is needed by nav mesh ladder to be able to determine which team should be able to path through it.
func_ladder brushes are automatically converted to this entity by VBSP during map compile with properly setup ladder normals based on which brush side has the ladder texture (either toolsinvisibleladder or climb_versus) and also sets TeamNum appropriately.

If the game has round restart mechanics this entity may not behave as expected:
- 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.
