Apparatus and methods for supporting a ladder are provided. Some embodiments may include a ladder. Such a ladder may include an engagement member for engaging a structure. The ladder may also include a telescoping member. The telescoping member may include an outer member and an inner member. The outer member may preferably be slideably engaged to the inner member. The ladder may further include at least one locking member for fixing the position of the outer member with respect to the position of the inner member. The telescoping member may preferably be hingedly attached to the ladder via a rotatable rung for attaching to the outer member, or hingedly attached to the ladder using any other suitable device. In one configuration, the outer member may be stored substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the ladder. In another configuration, the support engagement member may engage the structure.
