Is this an easy fix or is it good for scrap ?

I want to repoint the brick wall without having to hire a scaffolding to keep costs down. I just want to know if this roof looks sturdy enough to support my weight(65kg) and if it’s possible to stand on it while trying to do repointing on it.

Can anybody tell me by looking at those photos what tipe of mortar I need to do some repointing of those bricks ? I know there are several different tipes. I am not sure if this mortar is just sand and cement or if there is lime in it. The house is an old terrace built probably between the 1920 and 1930 in Sheffield UK. Any advice is massively appreciated.
