Default Ratlines (rat linz)

Thinking of putting ratlines on my lower shrouds. Whats a good wood?
Thinking maybe Doug fir.
The first step will be a sheer pole. Up 16 inches will be a prestretched
dacron rope rung. Another rope rung 16 inches up from that.
Then a wood step, the 2 more ropes etc.
Any thoughts?

Why? Lots of extra windage... Do you need to get aloft that often?

Do you have a traditional schooner or something?
