Someone has replaced the remains of the very old wooden ladders on the easternmost decent with retired aluminium extension ladders. Some of them are sitting on bits of rock held together with heaps of what looks like a urethane sealant eg sikaflex (seriously). I guess its fishermen. I assume they put this in because the steel decent is in such bad shape. Actually the top half of the steel one is good, with some newish gal chain, and even some stainless carrots, but the bottom 2 steel ladders are rusting out very badly, and hanging on their (very rusty) chains. I actually bid on a bunch of 11/8" 316 tube on ebay a while ago with the plan of welding up some replacements.
The aluminium ladders are corroding really badly and I reckon there's potential for stress/corrosion cracking in the near future, so I opted for the (more predictable) rust/steel mixture last time. probably rap next time.
There's some beautiful rust flowers on the bolt ladder, given that they started as 1/2" (?) I like to think there's still some steel in there somewhere.. |
