Sometimes, you need elevation. You might need to reach something on the top shelf, or you might be trying to look over a wall, or maybe you're trying to escape out a very high window. But what do you do when there aren't any trees, hills, ladders, or stools around? Simple: You stand on your friends. A Human Ladder occurs any time someone climbs on someone else for added height.
