Just spotted a couple of guys, with a signed up Transit, doing some
pointing on a semi gable end wall, type where the wall continues up to the
roof apex and pointing right up to the apex. Two double extension ladders
leaning against the wall, with metal brackets at the top, so as to support
a walk board level. The walk board like an alloy ladder, but filled by a
board. A third double extension to climb up to working level on.

No safety ropes, no kick boards nothing and there they were pointing at
the apex down. It made me cringe to just watch them.
