Do not climb the ladder so fast that you never check which building it touches.

Climbing well is not the same as climbing somewhere worth arriving. Speed makes the check harder, since momentum is pleasant and stopping to look feels like losing ground. But the higher you get on the wrong structure, the more the eventual correction costs.

Stop long enough to describe where this path ends if it goes perfectly. Not the next rung, the top. If the picture at the top does not appeal to you, the time to move the ladder is now rather than later.
