Is that an alloy skeletoned ladder in the first pic? Forbidden for lineman work here, but most commonly used too. It creates an excellent route for the current though...
Nice securing btw. Many linemen here don't secure at all. Many electricians also prefer going to the top of the building an then roping down to the electrical set, or funnier, even climb it up using only ropes and saddle. Some can do that on almost any sort of wall.
