Hello.
He climbed up the ladder on to the roof.
or
He climbed onto the roof by means of a ladder/by ladder.
To my thinking, the sentences mean the same. All I want to know is whether or not they are acceptable to you.
Thank you.
It should be 'onto' as a single word in the first example, as you did in the second.
They're both okay, (with the spelling correction), although the latter seems a bit wordy. I prefer the first.
You could also say "He climbed onto the roof with a ladder."
