Intermediate rung apparatus for a ladder

A ladder system comprising:

• a ladder comprising:
• vertical supports;
• and
• rungs extending between the vertical supports;
• an intermediate rung apparatus for use with the ladder, said intermediate rung apparatus comprising:
• a first hook and second hook configured to extend over at least one of the rungs of the ladder and couple the intermediate rung apparatus to the ladder;
• a leg extending from each of the first and second hook, wherein the legs are configured to extend in a direction substantially parallel to the vertical supports when the intermediate rung apparatus is coupled to the ladder;
• a plurality of second hooks extending from each leg and defining a plurality of positions vertically spaced along the legs;
• an intermediate rung extending between the legs, the intermediate rung being positioned between the rung and an adjacent rung of the ladder when the intermediate rung apparatus is coupled to the ladder, wherein the intermediate rung is removably coupled to the second hooks at each position defined by the second hooks;
• and
• at least one support for the intermediate rung, wherein at least one of the intermediate rung and the at least one the support is configured to contact the vertical supports of the ladder when the intermediate rung apparatus is coupled to the ladder.
