9 ft according to the label. As an extension ladder it is 18 ft. The 22 ft designation refers to the reach that someone on the ladder would theoretically have. Kind of bogus, but that is how they rate them.

If by step ladder you mean "A" frame, I would say somewhere around 10'-12'. I used it as an "A" frame to paint trim on an eave that was a good 12" off the ground.

The third step up is 33 1/2 inches high. I like the ladder a lot. In addition to being lightweight, it opens and close easily. It feels very stable when open. When it closes it goes flat for storage. And since it's made of aluminum and plastic it is rust-proof. Mine's been left outside through a few storms and look brand new.

The top step is 5'7". Add to that your 5' and the reach of your arms and tthat is 10' and some inches. So if you are trying to get to 13' I don't think this will do it. If you are using some sort of long handled device, for example a paint roller on a short pole, then maybe yes. I would personally err on the side of caution and get more ladder than I need, not less. No point straining and stretching. This is supposed to make a job easier.

I do not recommend using this type of rope ladder for any height higher than this one is designed for. The steps are too narrow and the entire ladder twists easily. We had to anchor base to make it more stable. Works fine for 4 & 1/2 foot ladder..

I'm not sure how high mine is right now, but I ended up extending the legs with tubing. My advise is to get the longer ladder and cut it shorter if necessary.

I decided against getting this ladder, because, as was stated, it is at most 12.5 feet high in the A frame configuration. I rented a 17' long A Frame ladder, which in the open position, was about 14-15 ft high, at the highest rung. But who wants to be on the highest rung at that height? We had to do electrical work in the ceiling along with cutting and repairing & then sanding down the repairs in the dry wall, requiring being closer to the ceiling than simply reaching light bulbs.

As noted prior this ladder is 7 feet at the top hinge fully extended in the A-frame configuration. The highest working step (two from the top) is at about 5 feet. So a 6 foot person, working from this step, should be able to reach a 10 foot ceiling.

I would not step on top step as it could be dangerous. It is very sturdy and well made not cheap.... not sure what the weight limit is buy my hubby is 170 range and he has used it. Hope this helps you.

The exact measured height to the top level from the ground, is 34 inches. This is an exceptional ladder, strong but unbelievably light weight.

The highest step on the ladder is about 3'9". You could not reach far enough for 11 feet.This is a marvelous ladder for approx. 9 feet.

The steps are high. I would not recommend it for an older person with limited mobility.

Hi Marsha, I just thought I would add that I purchased the 4 ft. ladder and can easily reach our 8 ft. ceiling from the top step. Hope I've been of some help to you. I was mostly impressed with the depth of each step. Makes me feel more secure when I need to climb. Good luck with your ladder purchase, Carol

A step ladder reaches with no problem. There is a set screw in the base of the unit that when loosened releases the fixture from the base allowing you to bring the fixture down while the base remains anchored to the eave of the house.

The top step of the 3 step ladder is 26 1/2 inches high. I don't have the 4 step ladder to measure, but its 4th step should roughly 35 1/4 inches high.

I don't think so. The steps are pretty narrow. It is a lovely step ladder that I use in my custom, dark wood closet.

I can raise it well above 10 feet. My sticker is not accurate, but I knew it would not be when I set mine up.

Think you need the 22 footer. Mine is 17. Ladder is good but still can't get past the fact that the steps are so narrow. Downside for me.
