Hi all,
What would be the best height for a step ladder for trad work?
I am going to order a set of 3.5 mtr doubles tomorrow, & might get some steps whilst I am at it.
Many thanks.

I wouldn't bother with step ladders, I would buy an 8ft A frame ladder. it will easily out last a step ladder.

You put the A frame against the ladders and carry them on one shoulder, leaving your other arm free to carry your bucket!
sounds like an accident waiting to happen ;D

i also carry A ladder/3.5metre ladders on one shoulder from time to time with oblong bucket/rojak in the other!normally i have the 3.5 metre ladder and trad pole over one shoulder and bucket in the other!i have got very long big arms though! ;D ;)
i should have no problem going wfp in future! :P
