This one is very similiar to the first one.  :)  This continues the logic a little longer.  :)

How in the world did they come to that position in the first place? I like puzzles where the setup is feasible.

I believe there is a simpler solution though...:

1. Qg8+ Rxg8

2. Ra3+ Bd4

3. Bxd4+ Rg7

4. Bxg7 #

But I do like the ladder theme.

RobKing, you appear to have missed that 1... Rxg8 is check! This actually means white will lose after 2. Kh2 Qh1#.

Robking, you do have a good eye there.  :)  But with the white king on g2 then Rxg8+ is putting our king in check as Nytik mentioned.

ahh good point, I didnt note where the White king was. Sorry about that. I just looked quickly at the problem at work. Very nice problem indeed then!
