The view from the car park. Looks OK. When you see the wall, it clearly wasn't meant to keep out potential invaders by blocking their paths. It's purpose was to serve as an elevated path for troops to be rushed to trouble spots on the boarder. Perhaps joining up forts in the mountain passes? That explains why the wall is so fragmented and runs in different directions. But you have to say, they must have been extremely fit troops!!!!
Three towers can be seen from the first place you can rest. Ok, still looks do-able.
Then you turn round. This gives you some impression of how steep the steps are. Going back down can be quite scary. You do feel light headed, like you are going to fall. One slip would end you up at the bottom much quicker that you would have liked!!!! Not helped by the steps being badly worn
