away from each other?

No towards each other.
Each strip of gripper rod should be pointing towards the corner of each
stair i.e. towards each other.

If they pointed away from each other then the gripper rod would have no
effect at all.

The original description was not as clear as it could be. Having
described a single section of carpet "with one gripper rod near the
bottom of each riser and another near the back of each tread" the second
clause "with the spikes pointing towards each other" might be taken to
refer to the same pair of grippers. Not a 'pair' composed of adjacent
riser tread pairs
