The steps of Doom!

This is the set of steps that goes up the hill next to the Pine Mountain sky jump landing area just outside of the city of Iron Mountain, MI. People use these steps for exercise, but you better be pretty fit if you climb the 500 steps to the top of the hill, having a heart attach half way up the hill would mean you would roll all the way back down to the bottom. Even though it's the beginning of May, there's still a bit of snow on the landing. You can see the top of the ski jump at the top of the picture.
This picture was taken by me on May 2, 2018 using my Nikon Coolpix L-17 camera.

I can feel my chest tighten just looking at those steps 😯

I know what you mean!

I would fly off that thing and land in a gutter, hopefully near a bar.

Well, strangely enough, there's a bar at the ski lodge close by. :-)

A few trips up those sounds pretty horrible. 🔥

I'm not sure I could make it up once without stopping several times. It would probably take me an hour or more to climb them. Coming back down, you really wouldn't want to trip or stumble.
