Contest #898 – Eldred Street Stairs, Los Angeles, California, USA

Eldred Street is the steepest street in the state of California (way steeper than any of the ridiculously steep streets in San Francisco). At 33% grade, its actually the third steepest street in the US, and, is so steep that half-way to the top, it turns into a 197 step stairway. At the top of this stairway is a great view (when it’s not too smoky to see anything) of the city.

As of earlier this week, the stairs were not in the line of any of the Los Angeles Fires, but that could have changed by the time you read this.

Those who climbed to the top (or down to the bottom) before the hint:

  • Martin de Bock
  • Lighthouse
  • Paul Voestermans
  • Graham Hedley
  • Eloy Cano
  • hhgygy
  • Phil Ower
