Just a question about the movie and the trailer. In Moria, if I remember correctly, we see the orcs crawling all over the walls and roof. Something I think PJ added on his own. The trailer for TT shows the orcs placing ladders against the walls of Helms Depth. Why? If the orcs can crawl all over walls and such why don't the just scale the walls and hills of Helms Depth? The only excuse I can think of is that these are the Urak Hai and they are heavier and thus not as capable of crawling up the walls, but I can't imagine Sauraman breding it out of them.

I think maybe that was an addition of Jackson's that he was hoping you wouldn't remember!

And here mentioned again:

Devilry of Saruman!' cried Aragorn. 'They have crept in the culvert again, while we talked, and they have lit the fire of Orthanc beneath our feet. Elendil, Elendil!' he shouted, as he leaped down into the breach; but even as he did so a hundred ladders were raised against the battlements.

And here again:

I will ride with you,' said Aragorn. Taking his leave, he returned to the walls, and passed round all their circuit, enheartening the men, and lending aid wherever the assault was hot. Legolas went with him. Blasts of fire leaped up from below shaking the stones. Grappling-hooks were hurled, and ladders raised. Again and again the Orcs gained the summit of the outer wall, and again the defenders cast them down.

Oops! I missed this very important part of your question! LOL I thought the question was concerning whether or not there were ladders in the book! LOL! I beg your pardon. And as that lady used to say on Sat. Night Live..."Never Mind."
