They are a killer. What got to us was one couple , in shorts, were running up them as we were almost crawling on hands and knees.

What an incredible bit of masonry, but as a bricklayer I'm just glad I was born a couple of thousand years too late to lend a hand....

That shot was taken along a mountain ridge which we had to use a cable car to get up to. Mongolia on the right and China on the left noticable by the protection wall for the stairs down to the china side.
