The edge of my shed roof has rotted. It's a standard shingle over wood

out a strip of the end of the deck and replace.

It shouldn't be hard, but there's nowhere to put a ladder. The shed is
on the edge of a steep hill, more like a gully. I've got only a foot or
two before it drops off sharply.

This must be a common problem with an obvious solution but I'm not seeing
it. I can get up from the other side but I'm not confident I can work
head down like a bat.

How is this usually done?

Rig up up something like this, anchored on the opposite side of the shed
from where you have to work...or just hire this guy...
