The member is adapted to pivot from a horizontal to a vertical position about the cane but not through the cane and in such a way that with the member in the vertical position the bottommost portion of the walking stick is exposed whereas with the member in the horizontal position the bottommost portion of the walking stick is not exposed thereby allowing the user to step on the horizontal member when climbing steps.
