Dude, it's just a ladder... what's the big deal?

I'm very uncomfortable with such heights; couldn't do it. We have a 20' extension ladder that I can get about 2/3 the way up before getting really nervous.

I've also done worse.
I'd have no problems climbing that. I have a wooden ladder that size that up's the pucker factor a bit...

I too have "walked up" ladders like this before... once you've done it a few times and know the ladder is stable in it's footing and setting, the flex doesn't bother ya

Yeah I would go up. I have been up three stories in bunker gear. Had to climb on to a flat roof, go through a roof hatch down a attic latter (narrow ass ladder), go down stairs and back out side. Then I would do it again and again.
The "fun" part is walking off the roof to get back on the ladder. Another fun one is getting out a window in bunker gear and getting on a ladder. Tallest ladder I have been up was 85 ft. That was on a ladder truck. James

I have had a panic attack with less height. But in my defense, it was going up a rappel tower after having slipped off once before (belay caught me, but I had fallen about 5 feet before he caught the slack). I was trying to get into the L-shape on the ledge side (no wall), and lost my footing. The other Soldiers there said my scream was blood curdling.
