I am looking for the name of the phobia of being on a ladder or just being scared of being around a ladder. I DO NOT want to know what the phobia of walking under ladders is, I already know that.

    These are the only ones I could find. There is not any listed for just ladders. They all pertained to height.
    Heights- Acrophobia, Altophobia, Batophobia, Hypsiphobia or Hyposophobia
    Hope this is of some help to you.
