I am Looking into buying a 30-35 foot ish A Frame Ladder, can anyone tell me how safe these are  I have heard a few reports that care must be taken when ladder is extended and working near the point as ladder can twist. Im Looking at a wooden one so should be quite solid I use a double alley one around 12-15 foot at the moment and this seems ok but not long enough.
Can anyone help
Cheers Alan

I have been using these kinds of ladders for the last eighteen years and i personally would not use anything else but if you want to go above the standard house height i would get someone to foot my ladder or better still use a water fed pole.

After using an A frame ladder the last 2 weeks I would say A Frames are a lot safer you are covering the hole length of the window no reaching, standing on sills hanging on for dear life wish I had done got these ages ago may be a bit more expensive but how much is your life worth and also looks more professional the amount of comments I have had as well as picked up extra work.
