Love the 'pompier; ladders, loved climbing them in training, should still be a part of the training.

I think you are right about allowing recruits to climb them, as this give them confidence.
When I was at our drill school, we had several and used them to climb the tower several times during their basic. We also used the life net as well back then. They are all gone now. Nothing like jumping off a good building from the second or third floor into a life net held by your peers!
