I’m not sure how Immovable Rods work exactly, but presumably with three of them you could place two, stand on them, place the third at some reasonable height, move the first two to a new location and repeat as needed, then once at the appropriate height, “lock” the top rung and use the ladder proper to climb back down, setting the other immovable rungs as needed.
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.

Like a climber tree stand for murder hobos.

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.
