Always good to see someone take safety seriously. You don't want to use a metal ladder around all of that RF energy. That wooden ladder is so much safer.

Lucky it's not the centre rungs, otherwise you could end up "neuted" as the family jewels come in contact with a surviving lower rung on your rapid descent! :'(

Cannot go past a decent aluminium extendable... ;)
