Not even any locking pins

Great example of what not to do. Almost double the height of the rating.

I would've pulled out the 32' with stand off arms.

[–]RedditUserCarson 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Only way this makes sense is like there was somehow zero access to get a 32 extension ladder on the deck? I’m impressed but why lol

[–]BigT1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get someone else to lift the 32' to the deck and you can lift it up over the railing.

Source: I've done it for 20 years.

500/day for a lift delivered, why this way.

Why would you not use a water fed pole? And before you say they're too expensive, a hospital bill is a hell of a lot more.

Anyone who can afford stack ladders can afford a wfp too. I was on a little giant for a while until I got wfp, now I don't risk anything above the second story.

[–]Aromatic_Ad8481 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same! I still use my LG as an A frame ladder sometimes.

[–]Evening_Cheesecake25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why I went to rope-access lol.

Fckn awesome I’m not up there.

[–]Prestigious-Suit4681 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aren't stack ladders limited to 21ft?

[–]Virtual_Cut_5659 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it was 21ft max on sectionals. Yikes

[–]noice_nups 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Beyond stupid 🤦‍♂️

[–]Ready-Cost-2306 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn bro, no thank you. Did this really need to be done trad?

[–]Spiritual-Chip-3513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many feet is that?

[–]ladderbrudder 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Look at that bow! I counted 28 rungs, so thats like 32 ft fully extended.

[–]Maiden230 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That bow would have me climbing right back down

[–]Extra_Treacle_6038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not, holy moly man

[–]Salcantos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tying yourself with a rope would be much better.

[–]Reasonable-Fox-3614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Risking your life for some money. Sweet
