Does a ladder (on the city wall) on one side count as a 'second entrance' that would require a shiur for a city eruv?
Synopsis
A ladder on the outer wall of a city does not count as an entrance (even multiple ladders side by side spanning ten tefachim), so a city with one door and a ladder does not require a shiur.
