Glad you ain't lost your bottle - I have!!! Since I went wfp 3 years ago I have found i have got worse and worse with ladders. On my regular round I am 100% wfp but the occasional job comes up that involves the use of a ladder. Each time I hate it yet when I was trad I never gave climbing a ladder a second thought.

I enjoy using ladders been using them for window cleaning since 1987 so kind of find it hard to give them up even though i do also use WFP.
