Up the ladder and along the wires
The man used a ladder leant against the power lines in a busy street to climb up onto the overhead cables and then actually walk along them like a tightrope to get to the pole.
As if his escapades above were not enough, his ladder remained in the street, with no cones, or warning signs that it was there.
