Pitched tiled roof, probably angled around 20 degrees and about 12ft high...windows above it. Bung ladders up and start to walk up the 8ft ish incline to reach windows. Get half way up and suddenly shoes lose all grip. Next thing I know I'm on my side rapidly sliding down. Just managed to get my foot into the gutter to stop myself sliding off to certain death :. Then it was just a question of getting back onto the ladder...JUST!Who needs Chessington World of Adventures for the adrenaline rush?..this job rocks baby

Are you serious broken heels as a minimum, i would jump off a 12 foot wall any day and be fine, what do some of you lot go on about?? Maybe if you are 20 stone you would break something, but then you wouldnt be on a ladder cleaning windows in the first place......But this time of year is pretty daft to go running up pitched roofs, i only do it in bright sunlight now when they are bone dry as most of the time its okay getting to the glass, but getting back to the ladder is flippin scary
See what I mean Simon? Not worth posting anything about climbing, unless you've got a harness, body armour, and a sponge on the ground to land on.
I can't do wfp where I live and work so climbing is all I can do. quote]why?

I clean them WFP, tops only; mostly; with a backpack (they're biggish Edwardian houses), and Wor Lass trads the bottoms.I promise you it's a lot faster and less effort than using ladders; maybe you still ought to consider WFP?Just a thought!
