Yet again, the stairs were the bane of my existence, though this time I didn't feel like I was going to break the handrail and die every time I went upstairs. These stairs were steeper than any stair I have ever seen before. You could literally walk on your hands and knees up them. In fact, it'd probably be easier if you did.
