The system may include an upper and a lower U-shaped bracket for each ladder leg that are slid onto the legs and secured by a bolt through the legs of the U-shaped bracket and are each locked into place with a wing nut. A cylindrical sleeve is attached to the back of each U-shaped bracket. A sharpened leg stake is able to be slid through the two sleeves on the two U-shaped brackets on each ladder leg and each adjusted in length in relation the ladder feet, and locked into place by an R-clip passed through holes in the lower bracket sleeves on each lower U-shaped bracket.
