The only way I can see of reaching that full 10.63 m is to lay the
ladder on the ground and then extend it and then upend the fully
extended ladder which is actualyl quite dangerous to do on your own.

I've found that I've had to use another ladder (or step ladder) to gain
more height to push the extending part up a few more rungs.

Whilst out the back earlier I measured my existing 3 piece ally ladder
and it's 2.5m long.

Looking online, it suggest that a similar 2.5m ladder returns:

"This 3 section ladder extends to 5.70m to enable a safe working
height of 6.31m*.

(Safe working height based on 1.75m as the average reach height of a
person)."

So that seems to support my idea of being able to work above the top
of the ladder?

So with a stand off at the top and assuming my existing ladder hasn't
suffered from being (partly) out in the elements for the last ~25
years, I might be able to get away with what I have?
