I was absolutely terrified by that point and it's only Lucey's and Fiona's wonderful patience that got me across it. I have never wanted to run so fast in the opposite direction in all my life.
After that there were just a couple of flights of stone steps and me and Fiona decided to go up on all fours. The Sri Lankan guy at the top thought it was quite funny until he saw my face. He then kept trying to reassure me that it wasn't far to the top. Only a 150 iron steps clinging to the rock face! They start just above the Lion's Paws. I was at a point of no return and so close to the top that I was determined to continue. I sang 'Save a prayer' to myself as I climbed those stairs.
