Is this even real? 😱 Yes, Jamestown and Half Tree Hollow on St. Helena are connected by both the historic Jacob’s Ladder, a staircase of 699 steps, and the vehicular Ladder Hill Road. Half Tree Hollow, a suburb of the capital, was developed above Jamestown due to limited space in the valley and is situated at the top of the hill that Jamestown sits at the base of. #sthelenaisland #jamestown #jacobsladder | Camps Bay Girl

THE JACOB’S LADDER CHALLENGE! 🇸🇭 🏃‍♂️ Ever since I learned about St Helena Island, I’ve wanted to take on the challenge of the infamous Jacob’s Ladder! The Ladder is a Grade I listed staircase leading from Jamestown, Saint Helena, up the side of Ladder Hill to Ladder Hill Fort. The name is a reference to the biblical Jacob's Ladder, a ladder extending to heaven - although there is nothing heavenly about running up these steps! Here goes!! 😅 www.deanallen.co.za #author #speaker St Helena Tour

This is Jacob’s Ladder it is one of the most iconic landmarks on #StHelena consisting of 699 steep steps that rise straight out of #Jamestown Originally built in 1829 and recently restored with a generous donation from #LordAshcroft it climbs up over 180 meters up the side of #Ladderhill at a daunting angle. From the top of #JacobsLadder you are treated to panoramic views of the South Atlantic, and in the valley below you can see almost the entire view of Jamestown and the spire of #StJamesChurc
