It was a regular thing up North in the old days. Thankfully we have wfp and cherry pickers now.

I've only been up two floors above ground - standard ceiling heights.  That was enough thanks.
Come to think of it I did climb higher than that many years ago but that was just to access some high scaffolding on a chimney stack.  I didn't work from the ladder.

whenever i used to go to seaside , for day trips or holidays, would always see window cleaners cleaning sea front hotels , used to think to myself , rather them than me.
