Dave-over-the-road walks about the rooftops here like a tom cat on the prowl and never holds onto anything at all. I used to do that, half a century ago. Now I have to be tied down with nowhere to fall. I ended up with scaffolding to do most of my fascias. I've still a bit to do, and will need my 'bird table[*]' on the extension roof. I hope I can find all the bits, and even then I'll need to be tied down, otherwise I'd wobble off. Chap I know, who is a caver, decided to do a spot of DIY on his gutters. Lacking a suitable ladder and being of an inventive turn of mind, he threw a rope over the roof, tied it off firmly the roof rails on his Galaxy, and then jumared up the rope until at the right level.  which was all very well, but he forgot to tell his missus what he was doing, so it all got a bit exciting when she jumped in the car and set off for the shops..... -- Marc We can complain because rose bushes have thorns,  or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.
