And one of the many reasons why Chris' product 
http://www.kf7p.com/KF7P/SafetyStand.html is such a great idea for safely 
working on a crank-up.

##  This is a superb device.  Ingenious really.   This is just the ticket for 
climbing up the side of a nested tower. 
Notice that the top of the extension ladder is captivated by the steel assy and 
retaining rod.   It appears that you
just put the ladder vertical, extend it till the top protrudes through his assy 
a bit, and you are done. Climbing the 
typ extension ladder  would be pretty quick.   Mine has ribbed, flat surface 
rungs every 12 inchs.  Used in conjunction
with his 36 x 12 inch platform  would make for a fast, safe, stable climbing 
assy.  Best part is, when you are done, his platform
can stay put, while you simply remove the extension ladder. I would still stuff 
some steel under section #2 to keep things safe.
