Those ladders are zap strapped together and at a 4 to 1 angle, and there's a safety person holding the one leg at the bottom.. it's completely safe!

In my past, Ive put an extension ladder on someones bed angled up to a peaked ceiling to change an MR16 lamp. The hardest part was getting the ladder to stop sliding down the peak when I got on it, because it was on a bed, and to not scuff up the ceiling enough for the customer to see it. true story.

cable ties, what planet are you from?
We use cable and tray/catenary wires because wires and pipe is unnecessary unless it is necessary, haha.

what is a tarmac. the bottom of that ladder looks like its in a bush. I suppose you could zip tie the ladder to that guys leg.
Bitumen emulsion used as a roading surface. Zip tie it to the bush.

I think what we call asphalt?
I'd zap strap it to a zip tie that's ty-rap'd to a cable tie that's hose tied to another ladder.
