Oh, nooo.

If You are waypointing it so (especially the picture with index Nr 137) - the bot will not work correctly (using A* pathfinder code).

Look at Overlapping Connections section.
Don't connect Your WPs to any far away in some certain direction if there is some connection already done.
And You may need to manually connect the top ladder WP with the buttom one. Normally You shouldn't use the default auto max path distance as 250. Use about 160. And autowaypointing use only to cover some big free areas. To connect ladders, some corridors or stairs etc it's much better to connect WPs manually. Just point Your crosshair at the WP You want to connect, then invoke from menu (or use bind) "Path connections" and choose one You need. And make sure Your top ladder WP has no connection to any normal WP placed at buttom (picture with index 223) - the bot may fall down in such situation trying to reach Your WP 223 instead using ladder. You need to connect top ladder WP with top normal WPs and buttom ladder WP with normal buttom WPs.
