I disagree that ladders are the best way to do even short
drops, except in cases where there may be a single short pitch quite
remote in a cave. For one thing, to use one safely you should have a
belay rope, so why not just climb it instead of also carrying a
ladder? IMO also sells cable ladders, but they're very expensive
($150 for 10 m). Why not buy rope instead?

Nah, they're the best thing for pitches upto 30ft!
You can get them in the UK Lyndon, btw.

They have been (or should be) outlawed internationally as a cruel
