The movie’s namesake was derived from the salmon ladder in Ketchikan Creek near Married Man’s Trail and Park Avenue.

“And when I was a kid, I used to think about how the salmon ladder is so interesting because we learn in school that salmon are in the ocean, and then when it’s time for them to spawn, you know, they swim up the creek. They go up the ladder and then they’ll spawn and have their children and then die.”

“The reason the movie’s called ‘The Ladder’ is because it’s a metaphor for the salmon ladder,” Torres explained.

In “American Ninja Warrior,” it might denote the correct arm position on the “Salmon Ladder” or the best technique for launching off a trampoline.
