And remember, it was a almost certainly a bunch of Sherpas, with gigantic balls of steel, who lashed those ladders together, dropped them over the crevasse, and then crossed over them, without the hand-rail wires, to string up the hand-rail wires, and ensure the ladders don't fall into the crevasse. Balls. Of. Steel.

Do they use just regular aluminium ladders or do they have special climbing ladders?
