I once read were a guy said climbing up the pyramid isn’t a problem but climbing back down is.

“I once read were a guy said climbing up the pyramid isn’t a problem but climbing back down is.”

Same in mountain climbing. The summit is only halfway.

The Aztecs solved that problem.

Like the difference between takeoff and landing of an aircraft.

I climbed the pyramids at Teotehuacan—a long time ago. Coming down safely is much harder since you’re looking at how far the drop is the whole time, you get little help from your hands and your feet really aren’t very good at gripping.

Then I think of the kids who hump cases of soda to sell at the top and then back down with the empties.

The Russians who climbed all of the super tall buildings in Dubai and Shanghai, etc. climbed them at dusk and then stayed there until night, which is a much better plan.
