fiberglass wobble worse than the aluminum. If your doing non electrical work then aluminum and wood ar e the best. most people dont use wood because they are twice as heavy as anything else, but when your humping shingles up I would rather be on a wood ladder over anything else.

Oh yes I could. You cant go anywhere but around in a circle on the walkway so it wouldnt be too difficult.

It might be worthwhile to buy some gear you can wear and you can tie off at least when you are working on something. Then you can focus on your work and not worry about hanging on. It might not help climbing much, but at least you can do work once you get there.

So you know the difference between a bad golfer and a bad skydiver?

Bad Golfer goes: *Whack!* Damn!

Bad Skydiver goes: Damn! *Whack!*
