Well
worth
the
workout
to
climb
the
many
steep
steps
and
grooved
streets
to
the
top
of
this
magnificent
spot.
You
need
to
be
in
decent
physical
shape
to
make
this
climb
and
even
then,
bring
water
and
take
your
time.
Some
of
the
steps
are
very
steep
and
broken
as
is
the
street,
so
make
sure
you
have
great
walking
shoes.
It
certainly
is
not
a
walk
in
the
park.
There
are
a
few
different
paths
to
take,
some
easier
than
others,
so
pay
attention
to
where
you
start
and
what
route
you
take.
It
will
take
30-45
minutes
at
a
nice
steady
pace
and
most
will
have
to
take
a
break
every
5-10
minutes
to
catch
their
breath
and
take
a
drink.
When
you
reach
the
old
cable
car
that
is
not
in
use,
you
are
almost
there.
When
you
do
reach
the
"top
of
the
mountain"
(the
location
of
the
cross),
absolutely
go
the
extra
few
flights
up
the
tower
for
the
most
amazing
view.
There
are
a
few
benches
to
rest
in
the
shade
at
the
bottom
of
the
tower.
There
is
no
running
water
or
bathrooms
(they
were
locked
when
we
were
there),
so
be
prepared.
Bring
a
small
towel
or
two
to
wipe
the
sweat
or
soak
them
in
water
to
cool
down.
First
thing
in
the
morning
would
be
best
to
make
this
trek
as
it
could
be
brutal
in
the
hot
sun
later
in
the
day.
You
are
in
mostly
shade
as
you
climb!
Again,
bring
plenty
of
water!
The
trip
down
is
so
much
easier,
so
if
you
made
it
up,
don't
worry
about
getting
down.
Peace
&
Love!
