Awesome. Although a chap at a gentleman's establishment in Las Vegas at that exact same moment would like to differ. “I ate my porridge breakfast with perhaps the best view of anyone in the world at that moment.”

Many of the accidents and deaths have been experienced climbers . I went up on 10th july when there was an accident and it was not visisble and treacherous . Anyone can say it is easy on a mild day .

A lot of the walkers I saw were also ill-equipped and obviously inexperienced on this kind of terrain, I'm sure lots of accidents must happen here. A lot of the walkers had no sense of mountain etiquette either, I saw people trying to ascend the narrow step and barge past people who were descending, it wasn't a pretty sight.
