The afternoon's walk basically consisted of going straight up, up, up, and then coming back down, down, down, on the section of wall visible here. When the wall ran out (because it rammed into the vertical mountainside), there was this icy stairway up to a lookout point (and some wild wall which, alas, we didn't get onto).

Being a laggard, I got to the bottom of the stairs just in time to take this picture of Kit, Becca, Bob, Llew, Chris and Pete on their way down from the top. It's a bit fuzzy due to camera shake with a long exposure, but short of having a tripod on you, what can you do?

These stairs were steep, icy, and fun. They'd have been bloody dangerous without the handrails, as it was they were merely "slightly dangerous", and painful because the handrails were so cold! :-)
