For that method, you'd need a really really tall ladder or to live next to a big hill. My water pressure has enough lift to reach above the peak on my roof (I know this because I built a solar hotwater heater and there was more than enough pressure to overcome the fricton losses of the 600' of tubing I have up on the top of the roof).
Edit: as an aside, I found all the alternate hose size adaptors I needed for my project at the UFA store in Calgary.
