coupled with uneven heights of the steps proved challenging. There are handrails all along, but sometimes, it was hard to manoeuver around climbers who were hanging on for dear life! Most climbers wore hiking or running shoes, but there were some silly women who wore high heels, high-heeled sandles. They didn't get far ;-) |

Even tho' this part looks flat, there is enough of a slant that can cause a "rush" on the way down... |
