My two wheels worth:

I have a two section aluminium ladder that is not rope operated but is
too long to extend without bouncing it up the wall - to give you an idea
of its length it will comfortably reach the ridge of a bay window in a
Victorian end of terrace. This particular house was pebble dashed
which made the bounce and push technique inadvisable so I fitted a pair
of wheels, er 'borrowed', from a supermarket trolley. Absolutely
brilliant and wouldn't be without them. The ladder has never shown any
greater tendency to slip sideways with the wheels than without, in fact
the rubber treads may even grip the walls better.
