-Ladder glitch is used in Hold No.1 during the Tanker chapter of Metal Gear Solid 2. It can save at least 10 seconds (or more) depending on both execution and variant used. All ladder glitches follow the same principle: Equip the camera before going onto the ladder and Snake/Raiden will enter a glitched-state. This can also be done with other items such as the Digital Camera, Scope, and Boxes. Ladder Glitch works on all versions and platforms. This can also be done in other areas of the game, but serve no practical purpose to the speedrun currently.+Ladder glitch is used in Hold No.1 during the Tanker chapter of Metal Gear Solid 2.

Its also possible to get the camera stuck when you reach the surface, to avoid this make sure you take a sharp up-left angle for the final step. **Note:** Its possible to fall out of bounds.
