Astoria Column (#1288)

Astoria Column (#1288)
164 steps, wide enough for two people when people were thinner, and no hand-rail on the inside portion where the steps were tighter. Glad I did it, but I'm surprised they don't require a liability waiver just to climb them!

We did this, too, in 2006. Robin still shudders when she thinks about it.

My greatest fear was coming down, I have a tendency to 'miscount' steps when going down.

That's Robin's biggest problem, too. She has no depth perception (she's blind in one eye) and is afraid the ground's going to drop out from under her.

Part of mine is that I've never been "sure-footed", and now multi-focal lens result in things near your feet being out of focus when you're just glancing down.
