What about, I saw sketches of this long ago, taking a ladder and
attaching a 4x4 or something at one end and hooking it over the crest

We had a ladder like that on our crew. We called it the "chicken
ladder" and they make the ladder for that purpose. Don't know if
that's the real name.

Maybe it got that name because it was first used in the chicken
industry.

Or maybe, because those who use it are thought to be chickens!
