When a person climbs a ladder, his muscles provide the energy (work) to raise
the person's weight from the ground to the top of the ladder.
When the person climbs a ladder carrying a load in addition to his body, his muscles
provide the energy (work) to raise his weight from the ground to the top of the ladder,
plus the additional energy (work) to raise the load from the ground to the top of the
ladder.
The more weight goes up the ladder, the more work is done. Of that you can be positive.
At least 3,500 joules, if his climbing effort is 100% efficient, but probably more than that.

The main purpose of a ladder is to allow people to get higher than they can reach. A ladder works by leaning it up against a solid surface and then the person climbs the ladder using the rungs.
Yes, climbing a ladder is potential energy.
A person climbing a ladder is using mechanical energy, if you are talking about types of energy.
You find the stud that unlocks the key to the doorwhere the ladder is, then you climb up the ladder to get the energy biscuits!!

If you are standing anywhere where you could fall you have gravitational potential energy. i.e. If you are in a ladder you have potential energy. Irvine ladder breaks and you fall this potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
The broad base of a bamboo ladder helps in maintaining the stability of the ladder, when a person climbs on it. It can be understood in this way that, a small displacement by a person at the top can cause the ladder to swing to a larger extent. The swing will be directly proportional to the length of the ladder. The bottom line is that, the broad base of the ladder will help to maintain the center of gravity, and hence will provide added safety to the system.
