MYTHBUSTERS VIKING AXE LADDER The Vikings 1958 Tony Curtis Kirk Douglas

Mythbusters should find out if this is possible or if it has ever happened. is there any tribe or culture anywhere in the world that climbs axes that were thrown? I have submitted this possible myth to Adam and Jamie at the Discovery Channel Mythbusters forum, check it out or leave your opinion at http://community.discovery.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/9551919888/m/4871923399

WELL, WILLIAM MARSHAL IS RECORDED TO HAVE SCALED A CASTLE WALL UNDER FIRE 'ON A LADDER' AND CLEARED THE RAMPART WITH HIS SWORD! AT THE TIME HE WAS IN HIS 50S, IT WAS THOUGHT AN AMAZING FEAT TO ALL WHO SAW IT.

By the time he'd manage to climb the axes there would of been a small army waiting in the portcullis. And the lever is normally located in the middle of the room with guards locked in on the inside...

Is there any way the throwing axes could support any weight?

@cheapestPCrepair Throwing axe ladder would be almost imposible to preforme. It would be possbile if there werent any enemies throwing all kinds of things at those who would climbe on axes that means they would have to do it silently out of enemies sight. In history there was never any recorded axe ladder siege of castles or forts.

Now, I can't say that I know if this would work or not, but there've been a few times when I've been out in the woods and I've used my SOG Tomahawk as a step to get up trees to fell dead limbs. Not with the cutting edge, but there's a spike on back that's just right for that sort of thing, and when dug in it's surprisingly solid.

Why didn't anyone wait where the hole he was climbing into and shot him in the face when if he climbed in. Why was there a hole there anyways?
