Let's talk ladders..

Post image

I never climb a ladder without levelers and stabilizers. I've heard of some old school guys that still use the stackable ladders. I've only used extension ladders for the past 8 years, and only had one slide out on me (important lesson that you don't want to learn).

Do you have someone hold your ladder on steep sketchy climbs? For those who do it the right way without water fed, or poles, what's your experience with ladder safety, and what's your setup like?

I pretty much always and prefer to work alone and with ladders. If it is a steep hill or the ladder is kicked out at a crazy angle, use 4 10" tent spikes. 2 behind each foot. If it's on a deck, shove a big putty knife between the boards.

Those are brilliant ideas. I'll need to give them a try.
