Use ladder=yes for parts of hiking trails with a ladder. It was suggested to use the length in meters instead of yes as a value, for example ladder=13, however it is also possible to tag this with height=* or length=*, which are more standard tags.
This tag is added to an existing highway=path. Short sections can be tagged as node , longer sections as way .
This was originally invented for hiking trails, but can be also used in combination with highway=via_ferrata.
