What happens here

With both ends of the rope secured, thoroughly test the ladder's extension and retraction multiple times. Fully extend the ladder, observing how smoothly the rope slides through the pulley and rungs. Then, fully retract the ladder. Ensure that the rope does not bind, tangle, or cause any resistance. The new rope system should operate smoothly and provide a comfortable grip, allowing for efficient and safe use of the extension ladder.

Goal: Verify the proper functioning of the re-roped ladder.
