Don't skimp on a ladder...if you are leaning toward an a-frame ladder, look at the Little Giant or a similar design by Werner (Home Depot carries them). I had a cheap, wobbly a-frame aluminum ladder a few years ago and fell from about 3 feet and broke my fibula and tibia. The adjustable ladders may weigh more but worth not having to spend months on crutches!
Ditto,ditto,ditto.
Redundant?
The little giant is so solid on the ground and makes an incredible extension ladder. My rv has a ladder rack on the rear so I hang it on it, locked in place with a heavy bicycle cable. I took the ladder to the local paint shop and they powder coated it to match the RV. They are not cheap but solid as anything you can buy. You can climb both sides of the ladder in the A frame mode. Take it apart and make a scaffold. At least go online and check them out. To get on my roof I can actually climb right onto the little giant from the ground and use it to get me to the rest of the built in ladder. In other words, I don't have to take it off to get on the roof. You can carry most of them in the back seat of a car. Try that with a fixed ladder.
