suspended ladder Explanation: I'd suggest 'suspended ladder' instead of 'suspension ladder'. I have also encountered 'hang ladder' in various contexts (you know, the type of ladder for emergency exits and stuff) |

hand-over-hand ladder Explanation: Suspended/ Suspension ladder would be a literal translation. See reference below. HTH -Poornima Reference: http://www.sportgeraete-langer.de/warenkorb/sites/item3.html |

monkey bars Explanation: If your context is playground equipment or jungle gyms: Hängeleiter = monkey bars; can be used for "hängeln" (working your way along hand over hand) or other play exercise, as shown in the photo at the URL below: http://www.clpgh.org/exhibit/neighborhoods/northside/nor_n25... (It's always a good idea to include both the (1) general context and (b) the entire sentence for specific context: saves your would-be helpers time and gives you a better chance at good answers.)
