Coerce a younger family member to climb the ladder.
We mature age citizens, we don't do that any more mate.
That's boys work, risk taking.

My grandson Nathan is still a bit young for climbing ladders, he can't even walk by himself yet. (Or so he'd have us believe.) Photo taken in May:
Getting these three to even stand on a kitchen steps is near impossible. Photo taken same day as above:
Besides, getting them to admit understanding the purpose of a plumb line or spirit level might take a couple of decades.
Both of these photos were taken on that day in May that marked the end of our expectations of a summer. From then on it rained almost every day (might have been 4 dry days) for 10-12 weeks.
Anyway, I don't mind climbing ladders, I just wont do it in wind and rain. Oddly enough, I can get the girls to hold the ladder, properly.
