    Definitely a to do in a bucket list. Experience 1800 steps up & down. Such a fulfilling experience!

    Very steep: come prepared with water and no fear of heights.

    A lot of steps but awesome views all the way down. Take the walk at the bottom to Scenic World so you can take the Railway back up the mountain.

    95% of people will walk down the stairs, be hardcore and climb UP them!

    Going down is much easier than going up. We started at the other side and went down Furber and then up the Giant. Much more challenging for all 900 plus stairs.
