Upper remnants of Tower Ladder. From Waymarking - Tower Ladder:
The historic ladder is located on the southeast side of Devils Tower. It was first constructed and used in 1893 by William Rogers and Willard Ripley, local ranchers, in their exhibition ascent of the tower. About 1,000 people came from up to 12 miles away to witness this first formal ascent of the tower. Rogers' wife Linnie ascended the ladder two years later, becoming the first known woman to reach the summit of the tower. An estimated 215 people later ascended the tower using Rogers' ladder. It was last used in 1927 by stunt climber Babe ("the Human Fly") White. Rogers and Ripley's ascent initiated a pattern of sport climbing of the tower that has lasted until the present day. The ladder presently consists of a series of wooden stakes connected on the outside by vertical wood planks. One end of each stake is driven sideways into a rock crevice, vertically ascending the tower. Attached with nails and/or bailing wire to the other end of the stakes are 12-foot lengths of 1 x 4-inch lumber. The ladder ascends from about 100 feet above the ground to the summit, and is about 170 feet long. Sources vary on the original length of the ladder. Some say it was 350 feet and others say 270 feet; it is uncertain which figure is accurate. At some time during the 1930s, the decision was made to remove the lower 100 feet of ladder for safety reasons (to prevent climbers from using it). In the summer of 1972, the park restored the remaining 170-foot length of ladder by straightening old stakes, replacing about 18 linear feet of missing pegs, and by attaching a 1 x 4-inch lumber rail, similar to the original, to the outer ends of the pegs.
Fame Fire Company
West Chester,PA
Fame in West Chester has taken delivery of a 137’ aerial ladder from E-One. It will be a helpful part of our technical rescue effort as far as reach goes. Unit was placed into service on September 29, 2012.
It’s a dry ladder, seats 6. Decent compliment of ground ladders. Outrigger span at 13’ 8”. Ladder 53 is first out for all building responses in the WCFD response area
We waited a long time for this ladder to reach us, but by then the smoke had cleared out and we were able to walk out the front door.
Ladder to Heaven - Chapel of Saint George, Skala, Kefalonia, Greece.
View of a ladder leaning against the rear wall of the Chapel of Saint George on the outskirts of Skala, Kefalonia, Greece. It is quite common for Christian churches to be built on ancient religious sites. This chapel was thought to have been built in 1812 which is when the neighbouring ancient Doric Temple of Apollo was discovered. Excavations of this site were carried out in 1960, 1961 and 2001.
Lashed the ladder to the side of the trailer for travel. The 2 2x4s, used to create the "kitchen area" cover, are slid between the ladder and the side of the trailer. Those will also be lashed down with paracord run through tie downs screwed into each end of the 2x4s.

Ladder 212's 1998 ALF (EX-Ladder 163, EX-Ladder 11) serving as Ladder 2 at what was a 4 Alarm fire at Front St. and Girard Ave. in Fishtown
Ladder 163's 1998 ALF (EX-Ladder 11), serving as Ladder 15. Seen here on Bustleton Avenue at the Frankford Transportation Center.
I mounted two fiberglass ladders to the side of our tool shed. It's nice to get them off the ground and out of the way. Drilling through the shipping container wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but making enough room on the other side to tighten the nuts was no easy task. I should have used rivets.
Ladder 16 responding to a fire behind Home Depot on Castor Ave. Seen here at Aramingo Ave & Somerset St. Ladder 16 is a 2003 ALF.
Ladder 9's current 1998 ALF (EX-Ladder 24) which will soon be replaced by a new 2010 Spartan on Ladder 9's former 2007 LTI body.
Ladder-backed Woodpecker (Picoides scalaris) male in the Cave Creek Canyon area near Portal in southeast Arizona. This area is located in the Coronado National Forest and on the east side of the Chiricahua Mountains.
There was a pair of these woodpeckers frequenting the lodge "Cave Creek Ranch", where we were staying, which presented me with several opportunities for photography.
