That's an idea, but the rods had 4 rungs between them that were just wood so they were about 6ft apart. They had used it by setting the bottom, having someone tall put the middle at full length away, then have that person climb up and balance on the top rung to then set the next one at full length. It often led to hilarious critical fails on the balance checks.
I'm genuinely surprised no one thought to hold them in place with a 10ft pole, that's d&d 101 right there.
Could've held one rod end in each hand, letting middle of rope ladder hang down for standing on, like stirrups
Alternate left/right and you can step in any direction into the air
I suppose that'd be easier than free climbing with two rods, though you wouldn't really need the full ladder for it.
