Yes. the fish ladder. it came up recently among friends, none of whom were certain what it meant. well...now i know. and it happens to be metaphorically accurate for my current passage. i'm sure you've heard of "swimming upstream." well, this is like swimming upstream and uphill--both ways!!!
fish ladders are passages constructed near dams or other human-imposed barriers, which allow migrating fish to complete their journey home (if only to reproduce and die). they are most effective when designed to create enough resistance to make the fish fight, but not so powerful that it pushes the fish back downstream.
i'm climbing the fish ladder.
