Ladders

[tree-fancier123]

a tripod ladder isn't essential - same as it isn't essential to change from using a family car to provide a hedge cutting service.

A 12ft tripod goes inside the roof of a LWB Transit, or strapped on any pick up/ tipper.

But a dedicated vehicle is a serious investment. Especially if you can't have an older one due to LEZ.

I ordered the ones shown before, 8 step extendable to 15 step A frame, should have been here Wednesday, however the shop was a day late sending, and the courier DX seem to be useless with no updates. I am greatly irritated as I'd lined up a small apple tree job so I could test them out.

 

A friend was telling me there are ladder sports but when I looked it up on YT, it just appears to be hook ladders for speed climbing up buildings, no balance involved.

 

I'm not sure how it would look but I have the idea of competetive extended A frame sport. On sloping, questionable ground. Two climbers with basic ladders and somone to foot each, extended to say 5 or 6 meters, and whoever can knock the other off, wins. What do you think?

I think it sounds uninsurable.
