jacob's ladder印象

The Jacob's Ladder was the many steps leading up to upper part of Saint Helena Island. The straight up ladder with high steps put a lot of stress on your leg's muscles. We arrived on a cruise ship from Cape Town to Rio and St. Helena Island was one of the stop. We were told of the challenge to climb the Jacob's Ladder which promised a certificate of recognition for anyone who achieve the trip up to the top and down. We were the few that took the challenge and achieved it with comfort. The sight from the top was nice but not fantastic.

My husband did this when we visited St Helena, sadly I have a knee problem so climbing 699 stairs is out of the question for me! Gordon was pleased to achieve it and got some good photos from the top. We did then, of course, go to the museum so Gordon could get his certificate of achievement for completing Jacob's Ladder. Definitely worth doing if you're fit enough. You can get the views by driving up to the top of Ladder Hill Road so those not fit enought to climb the ladder needn't miss out.

Once you get into the Saint swing its easy but its recommended that you take a bottle of water for half way.Your time will come down the more you do it,and so will the weight

So glad I did it. The ladder dominates Jamestown beckoning you up it all day and is difficult to ignore! We did it on day 1- 15 mins for me, 7 for my husband. Whales in the bay below were a welcome distraction. A must do, as are visiting the old barracks and gun emplacementsvat the top.

Loved it, but didn't attempt to climb or descend the 699 steps! It is lit up at night, as is the Ladder Hill Road, which looks wonderful.

JACOBS LADDER is correctly advertised as one of the MUST DO experiences when visiting the fascinating Island - St Helena.A gentle walk past the famous Church (in the Square) Very well worth a visit, as also a visit to the fabulous Museum, all on the way, will inspire you to actually do the climb!You can decide to climb in a non-stop race, or do as I did; stop after every 100 hundred step and take in the views, taking photo's a you go. The time goes so quickly!The views from top are wonderful.You can see the remains of a vessel that sank in the bay, many years ago and well described and illustrated in the Museum. It was my good fortune that the owner of the Consulate Hotel, also a great place to stay, have a drink and or meal,, VOLUNTEERED to give me a lift back down to the Hotel. certainly ADD this to your Bucket List!

The views at the top are amazing - climbing it is rewarding and do it at your own pace - anything between 10 and 20 minutes. The record is just over 5!

Jacobs Ladder is one of the top attractions in Jamestown, originally constructed to haul manure up the near vertical cliff face to higher fields. It's actually a staircase cut into the rock, there's a handrail. If you complete the climb the local museum gives you a certificate. It is possible to get back down to Jamestown by walking along the road.You get great views looking down the ladder and across Jamestown from the top.

There's a path half way up where you can stop to rest, and a toilet at the top and bottom. Slippery when wet!
