Jacobs Ladder is a 699 step unevenly cut rock staircase dominating the sloping cliffs of Jamestown. The steps are around 30 centimeters high and the same wide.
I used Jacobs Ladder frequently during my time at senior school. It was the quickest way to get into Jamestown after school.
Yesterday, I wanted to prove to myself that many years later I could still do it!
Anticipating the Climb
View from the bottom
One last chance to change my mind!
The ascend begins
Nearly half way
It's much steeper at the top
Yes I did it!!!
Looking back All 699 steps were worth it for the view
A big thank you to my sister Glynis for capturing my exhilarating climb of Jacobs Ladder.
