How do I carry objects up ladders?

[Glam Stachee☆]

So here I am trying to get all the achievements and I'm stuck with this stupid purple hat and pizza ones. My main problem is I just can't get them up ladders, they just fall down and I can't grab them. How did you people ever manage to complete this without tearing a hole in your monitor?

I manage to carry barrels up ladders by kinda turning sideways while climbing and carrying. Sometimes it takes a few tries, but it can be done.

Yeah it just seems to be a gamble for me. I tried turning sideways as well but the props still just hit the wall a few times and then fall off for no reason.

I just figured out that noclipping doesn't invalidate achievements... nor does teleporting to different maps... Oh look I got all of those super broken achievements!

It's a pain in the @ss sometimes. A lot of the time I can just throw the hat to the top of a platform without taking it up the ladder with me but sometimes you have no choice but to carry it. The trick is to try to go up the ladder backwards so the hat doesn't hit anything but if there is a railing or wall in the way, then it just comes down to luck. For example, right before you reach the questionable ethics chapter, you have to go up a long ladder in a very small tight corridor. I don't know how many tries it took me to get that f$cking hat up there but finally after like 10 minutes i managed to do it. It also doesn't help that there is a loading screen right at the start of the ladder, so if your hat falls down and you have to drop to get it, then you have to load the f#cking map again to get back on that dang ladder.

That's interesting that you were able to use cheats and still get the achievement. I'm not going to do that because I am too stubborn and have gotten too far to give up now. You really dodged a bullet though let me tell you.

The point where I just gave up was at about Surface Tension right after you kill the chopper, and you have to carry it up not one but TWO sets of long-ass ladders, and they have railings in them just to spite you. And of course if you fall down there's a good chance the hat or pizza will just roll off the cliff and you have to load a save game.

I'm all for difficult achievements, but I'm not doing any that involve having to fight the source engine jank.
