I really hate vertical ladders. Today i had to climb a vertical ladder thats mounted to the side of a building to access a hot water unit on the roof of a building. Big extention ladders im fine with, theyre angled so you lean into them. This one is verticle and 30 foot tall. And no cage around it or fall arrestor. And the cold wind had picked up. I dont have confidence in my left arm since it got working again after the 39 days it had no function in 2017. Obviously the building owner has never been up to the roof. My logic would be install a hatch in the roof above the top landing of one of the sets of fire stairs and a 10 foot verticle for access. Dunno howthe plumbers going to get a new 250 litre hot water unit up there without a scissor lift.
