When run, this addon adds options to the player's action menu to spawn ladders. These ladders can be used to climb onto rooftops and to enter any otherwise inaccessible part of the Arma II houses (e.g. balcony) or just to annoy your buddies. It is kind of a silly addon but it opened new perspectives on urban combat for me. There is just too many locked buildings around. Check out the Youtube link to get an idea about this addon.
Ladders can be:
* Created (small and big type available) * Moved around until dropped by the player * Raised or lowered by 50cm at any time after being placed * Removed within 30 seconds after placing them * Flipped by 180 degrees to allow creation of decending paths
