So, get it clamped down good and tight. Now, we got a a loop made right here. We're going to start off. This is the ladder itself. up the ladder and we're going to start off with the bottom rung right here. This is the bottom rung on the extending part of the ladder. I'm just going to take my rope, extend it through, get my loop, and I'm going to pull my rope all the way through. Just like that. And that rope clamp right here, that rope clamp is an easy way to hook your your rope to the bottom rung. If you don't have access to a rope clamp, you can actually just tie a knot. Just take tie several knots right here, but the rope won't come loose. And if you're good with knots, tying multiple knots, you can do it. But a rope clamp, you can see how nice it makes it look.
