In a month or so I'll paint the cornice and cut in the rest. Afte the paint has really cured, but before winter, three coats of acrymax.

Old WOOD ladder. Toss it your life is worth more.

Don't worry. It's only a few feet from the 2nd roof to the 3rd. I wouldn't use it for a working ladder but I like it for this.
Believe me!
Not a fan of old lightweight aluminum extension ladders either - although I still have one of those as well. Sometimes its just what's needed.
 
Actually the worst ladder was one of the telescoping collapsing ones a park maint manager dropped off so I could look on a roof. Thanks, no thanks! Open eves, roof boards bad - no way - I'm not a gymnast. Knucklehead. Thanks to people like him its no wonder some places have such highly restrictive work rules.

For extension ladders, yes!
That's a nice one you've linked to, but still a pain in maneuvering in hallways and out windows.
Although I think my 24' is Louisville brand. That's about as much as I can handle comfortably. Only times need taller than that I'm either sub or an employee

That is extension and A frame ladder combo.

I used to climb telephone poles every day. Stepped and unstepped with Gaffs. And of course we used ladders as well. 30ft extension type. I will tell you, we had far more ladder injuries then falls from poles, stepped unstepped... They are dangerous if not respected. They will twist out from under you..
 
Friend of mine had surgery on his foot to reconstruct bones yesterday. Coming down a metal ladder from one roof to another and fell. Basically crushed his heel bone
