Xtend + Climb ProSeries S2 - 3.2m - of all my surveying kit, the ladders where the item I presided over most. Theres no room for shoddy equipment when your out on your own in the middle of nowhere. These come from TB Davies in Wales who have been selling ladders since WWII. Im not very good on ladders, so it was important for me to get some with outriggers, that felt safe when fully extended.
