In the Netherlands we have a saying "ladderzat" which roughly translates to "ladderpissed" or "ladderdrunk".
In Utrecht you have the Domtoren (pic related) and there's this little room for some sort of clerical official. Now when they had people over in that room some of them would get properly shitfaced, there was no way you could let these people out of the front door of a church(tower). So they had a little ladder and when you where too drunk you had to go down that ladder if you wanted to get. That's where this saying comes from.

Moral of the story is: climbing ladders when drunk shouldn't be that much of a problem if even the late-medieval/early-modernity clergy could handle them out of a fucking church tower (that chamber is a bit below the first 'balcony').
