I don't have a fear of heights, just of the ladder "falling off" the wall.

Show me a fully secured ladder and I will happily climb it. Show me an
unsecured one and I feel anxious about half way up.

Getting to the top the first time to secure it is really difficult :-(

Secure it at head height then.. a couple of eyes in the wall a few feet
either side and some rope will stop it slipping.

I don't like ladders either. 8-(
