Ladder extension assembly

A convertible lifeline anchor assembly, comprising:

• an elongate member having a first bore, a second bore, and a third bore proximate a distal end;
• a first plate and a second plate positioned on opposing sides of the elongate member, the first and second plates each having a first aperture, a second aperture, and a third aperture, the first and second plates forming at least a first anchor and a second anchor;
• a securing fastener extending through the second apertures in the first and second plates and the second bore of the elongate member thereby pivotally connecting the first and second plates to the elongate member, the first and second plates configured and arranged to pivot about the securing fastener to move between a first position and a second position;
• wherein the first apertures align with the first bore in the first position to provide access to the first anchor;
• and
• wherein the third apertures align with the third bore in the second position to provide access to the second anchor.

• at least one of an adjustable length ladder extension assembly and a convertible lifeline anchor assembly;
• the adjustable length ladder extension assembly comprising:
• a mounting portion including a connecting portion and an adjusting portion, the connecting portion having a rung connector;
• an extension portion configured and arranged to be at least partially positioned within and selectively slidable relative to the mounting portion;
• and
• a locking mechanism operatively connected to the extension portion and configured and arranged to selectively engage the mounting portion thereby adjusting a length of the extension portion extending outward from the mounting portion.
• the convertible lifeline anchor assembly comprising:
• an elongate member having a first bore, a second bore, and a third bore proximate a distal end;
