Easy to attach it to a ceiling joist inside and makes that a safe and re-usable solution for various things outside various windows. The only issue, then, with this particular window is the degree to which it is inaccessible from inside. It's still plan B. | |

I'll start with this one (more later): The last time I climbed a rope was 40 years ago, when my high school gym teacher provided me with what I will euphemistically call "great motivation". Step 10b here would be "call fire department to get me down" and if I'm going to do that I think I'd stick with "call professional to do the job" or even "install new light somewhere else". | |

Also, climbing rope that would enable one to not die when falling are expensive and single-use (i.e. one fall and they must be discarded - they're not designed to take two falls). Safely anchoring the rope presents challenges equal to or greater than stabilizing the ladder. | |
