In the extended position the bottom stage and top stage are locked and secured together through one or more securing features such that overlapping rungs from the bottom stage and the top stage are substantially aligned and parallel to provide a stable stepping plane with the extension ladder leaning to form an acute angle between the back surface of the bottom stage and a support surface.
