Somehow this staircase reminds me of "Lord of the Rings" where Frodo is led to the spider by Golum and Samwise is sent back - sloping, worn and washed-out steps with irregular spacing and thistles growing on the edge - but the view of the area - incomparable. ⚡Be careful when wet, the stones can be slippery. Good shoes and surefootedness are advantageous ⚡
