22 0 ReplyEveryone worrying about getting up. I'd be more concerned about the way down on these.
9 0 ReplyMy exact thought. I could get up on the balls of my feet, but my ass is falling down those stairs, for sure, on the way down.

When does a stairs become a ladder?

I think the trick is to not think of them so much as difficult stairs but as an easier rock climb.
2 0 ReplyIndeed.
Took me a while to consider if this was an art piece. They were functional and used by many people, IIRC.

At what point does a set of stairs become a wall? How thin can steps be before they are no longer considered steps?
48 0 ReplyI don't know but I think it's fair to say if it becomes necessary to ask those questions then you went too far.

I would assume when you can no longer stand on them.

The steps don't have to be thin, you could make them jut out. But still, at some point it's effectively a ladder. That's probably the point where it's easier to start using your hands too.

5 0 ReplySteep stairs are one thing, but putting carpet on them is just asking to slip.

When my siblings and I were kids, we would ride laundry baskets down the stairs.
These stairs would be fucking rad to do that with.
13 0 ReplyOnce, anyway.
20 0 ReplyRiding the laundry basket off the roof would be more comparable

My old house had some steep stairs that felt like this.
My wife broke her ankle on them, fun story.... Nope. That sucked.
9 0 ReplyLooks like an advanced Doom II map.
Just missing a teleport at the top to simulate a second floor, or a silent téléporter if you're really fancy.
11 0 ReplyI don't think Doom teleported the player to simulate a second floor. I think it was closer to asset swapping what got drawn on screen in the same location.
If you turn the Minimap on you can see where you are in the level. The Minimap was almost a depiction of how the game was really programmed, and the 3D POV was a programming trick to display it for the customer.

Where I come from we call these, "up only" stairs. Kind of like how Perl is a write-only language.

4 0 ReplyAt this point, just use a ladder. It'd be safer too.
That would also make space for a slide-down pole, which would be faster.
7 0 ReplyExtreme inner city house attic stairs vibes. Anything goes with attic stairs!
6 0 ReplyYou'll be thankful for anything more sloped than a ladder 😂
4 0 ReplyI've been looking for attic stair options. Anything that easier to carry/slide boxes down than a ladder.
2 0 ReplyIt's illegal tho
1 1 ReplyDepends.
Houses that were built before specific regulations came into force are almost always grandfathered into the old ones.
I myself live in a house built in 1900 which has steep stairs that would be illegal today, but it predates the regs and gets a pass.

2 0 ReplyIf that's the stairway to heaven, can I request to be shown the stairs leading down?
2 0 ReplyI'm not sure of exactly how to access them. Check with the pedophile section at the prison. They can show you the way.
