A minimal [[edge template]] which can be used as a [[ladder escape]].

* [[Second row|Row-2]] ladders: All of the common edge templates are valid.

* [[Third row|Row-3]] ladders: Templates [[Template II|II]], [[Template IIIa|IIIa]], and [[Template IVa|IVa]] are valid.

* [[Fourth row|Row-4]] ladders: [[Template IIIa]] is valid. Also [[template IVa]] is valid if you can [[double bridge]] to the [[escape piece]] as follows.

<hex>R6 C9 Vb3 Vc3 Vd3 Sf2 Vg3 Ha4 Hb4 Hc4 Hd4</hex>

[[Red (player)|Red]] can [[jumping|jump]] ahead to the escape template by playing at the marked [[hex (board element)|hex]].
