The 10m ladder only reaches 5/8th up there, so I fashioned some ridge hooks for the telescoping aluminium ladder from wood. Makes it bloody heavy though.
I've put away my general purpose farm safety clogs for this and some climbing boots on and then with great effort hauled the second ladder up the first in one hand and then hooked it over the ridge, the pesky lightning arrestor cable there not helping at all.
The actual repair on that side was easy, just a panel to slide back into place, poke around for the batten and put some screws in. Then screw down all others in range so they don't get any ideas next storm.
The other side is going to be more work.
