I've always found it difficult to climb up a pitch with no foot or hand holds :-)

I disagree that ladders are the best way to do even short drops, except in cases where there may be a single short pitch quite remote in a cave. For one thing, to use one safely you should have a belay rope, so why not just climb it instead of also carrying a ladder? IMO also sells cable ladders, but they're very expensive ($150 for 10 m). Why not buy rope instead?
