are made to support a piece of 2X4 and attaches to roof under shigles.
available at home depot or lowes


What about, I saw sketches of this long ago, taking a ladder and
attaching a 4x4 or something at one end and hooking it over the crest
(if there is no ridge vent)? Do these slip off?


We had a ladder like that on our crew. We called it the "chicken
ladder" and they make the ladder for that purpose. Don't know if
that's the real name.
