I own that ladder. It has an accessory that adds an extension for one of the legs.If you look closely you can see it. All and all its not as dangerous as it appears.
Edit:
Yes, yes I agree everyone, it is still dangerous. I suppose I did not clarify things enough in my original statement. What I meant was, that it is better than teetering on 1 leg while someone balances the other leg. The extension blends in with the railing pretty well.
Yeah, just tie two 20ft ladders together. $340 for two.
But maybe you need ladders for both sides of the wall so $700. Rope would be a cheaper descending option though.
Unless you're fine with wood veneer on pressboard, skip the Karlby and most of the others. Get the Hammarp. Solid oak beauty right there. I use one of those for my desk. Polished it up with fine grit sandpaper on a rotary sander and finished with a healthy dose of Danish wood oil. The link goes to one with a dark walnut stain but there are tons of color options (or no stain if you like the natural oak color).
Seems like they weigh between 8-14 kg depending on how long and strong they are.
Ladder covers are only about $10: https://www.amazon.com/Louisville-Ladder-LP-5510-00-Extension-Pro-Guards/dp/B000U0H8PK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480455299&sr=8-1&keywords=ladder+covers
Rope ladders move around a lot. The Kidde Fire Excape ladder would be much more solid.
If I ever own a multiple story house again (not likely - I prefer one level) I would install the built-in fire ladders like these. (https://www.amazon.com/Werner-ESC330-Escape-Ladder-Three/dp/B0042HN27A/ref=sr_1_8?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1483135534&sr=1-8&keywords=fire+escape+ladder)

The ladder needs to be 3' over the leading edge (about 3 rungs) and tied off properly. If you can't get 3' because the ladder is too short, you can use extension handles instead.

I would also say that using USB cables to tie off your ladder, wouldn't be considered to be "adequate". Tie wire, cable, or rope would be the way to go.
1926.1053(b)(1)
When portable ladders are used for access to an upper landing surface, the ladder side rails shall extend at least 3 feet (.9 m) above the upper landing surface to which the ladder is used to gain access; or, when such an extension is not possible because of the ladder's length, then the ladder shall be secured at its top to a rigid support that will not deflect, and a grasping device, such as a grabrail, shall be provided to assist employees in mounting and dismounting the ladder. In no case shall the extension be such that ladder deflection under a load would, by itself, cause the ladder to slip off its support.

Envelope time! This ladder weighs about 23 kg, which at .99 c has the energy of about 3000 megatons of TNT, which is about 100 times bigger than the Tsar Bomba.
So, yes, that ladder will end your garage, house, neighborhood, city, and state, assuming it hits something.
Does the ladder have good, undamaged feet on it? You know those are replaceable, right?

>The point is, that nobody knows what to do
I just told you what other countries do. Arguing against it's efficacy doesn't eliminate it as a solution.
> And saying that the government should declare a national emergency to put in half baked ideas into place which may or may not work is terrible at best.
Like building a 2,000 mile, 30 foot wall that can be overcome by a 32 foot ladder off amazon?
The stripes themselves are going to be fairly easy to paint. Get some flat white ceiling paint, a thick napped roller (1/2" or 5/8"), and a long extension handle. Just make sure you cover everything really well, because a thicker napped roller will throw paint.
The stepped ceiling is going to be a little more challenging, because you will never be able to roll those painted corners. For that, you should really just consider getting a ladder and brushing it. I highly recommend the Little Giant style folding ladder. Doesn't take up much space, but it's incredibly useful.
>You need to develop better arguments as to why the wall shouldn't be built.
