I think I would opt for either the incline or the trolley to get up there.
That must have been another hour or better to get to the top on foot.

For every one's further edification and enlightenment I have attached
several more photos form my "Stumbles" through the Internet. These need to
be identified. So have at it.

Some are old, one or two newer, all need identification.
