    My house has multiple escape routes from the front, but the back of
    the main living area is over a walkout basement on a slope. The deck
    has no steps down and is about 12 feet off the ground. I'd like to buy
    one of those ladders for emergency escapes, but when I looked at them,
    they seemed specifically designed to rest against a wall. That is,
    the top portion was a C-shaped piece with a hook at the top. It
    looks like it hooks over the window (or deck railing) and then the
    bottom part of the C would rest against the wall--of a second floor
    story. But my deck has copper pipe running *horizontally* for the
    railing and so there's nothing for that bottom part of the C to rest
    against.

    Anybody have suggestions?

    I am in the same situation. I have no idea how old this post is but its 3days after Thanksgiving 2018 and im looking for something that one can get onto from a deck with rungs. We don't need wise guys telling us to jump... We need a solution at
    any price at this point! I can't find anything out there. Please contact me back if you find your solution PLEASE. S.H.
