Great Job! Looks like alot of work ,but looks like it will also last a a long time
Yeah, I would much rather ride the BEAST instead of walk your Beast.
Thanks for sharing.

Back in the day I set a lot of stairs but not up the side of a cliff – to take on that project there had to be a compelling reason – great job.

No zip-line? j/k Looks great!

Reminds me of growing up, we made something very simular to get down to the lake. I can still remember having to lug gas cans up and down those stairs.

Must have been a pain to go up and down that hill before the steps where completed. LOL

Nice job.

-- If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail!

Thanks Rex. IT was a pain. There were some old rotted stairs there but they weren’t good for much. Plus it rained for part of the first three days so that probably added several hours of effort due to slipping and sliding.

Great job. That looks like it took a lot of material.
Those landings are smart.

Wow! Thats a great looking set of steps. These would build some solid glutes very quickly.

Beautiful work! Are you going to add another handrail to the other side?

And does “hangdog” refer to rock climbing? I haven’t used that term in a while, since I moved to Florida!

-- Will, Tampa, FL

Hi Will, yes, hangdog refers to climbing. In all these years I’ve used this name your the first one to notice! As for the railing, the customer only wanted one. She wanted to minimize the visual impact. In fact she plans on staining the wood dark brown once it has dried sufficiently.
