Does anyone use these type of ladders for access over porches where the pitch is to great to stand on. Really useful bit of kit IMO.

Looks useful, but I wouldn't trust it without footing.

Sod that!!.... you only get one chance!! too risky without a proper footing.  would either use pole or put the ladders above the window to get the 75 degree angle.

Surely that won't meet HSE regs regarding keeping so many points of contact with the ladder etc.
