I'm not fond of heights.

I don't have a problem with heights, but I don't want to fall from them.

At our old 2 story house, I installed the sensors for a weather station. I got on the fence and from there got onto the garage roof, and from the peak of the garage I could get onto the roof of the second story. I then wandered over to the chimney and strapped the pole for the sensors to the chimney and back down. But the pitch was much lower on that house. Getting close to the edge of the second story and looking over did make my bits tingle a bit.

This house has a much steeper roof. Good idea on the rope tied off opposite the ladder. I will certainly consider that.

So you think an extension is sturdier than a multiposition even if the multiposition is straight and has a 375# rating?
