Climbing Skellig Michael is no small feat. While it's only (!) 700 feet high, it's 700 feet straight up; more than a few people give up after their first experience of vertigo. The early monastic community built a 650-step stone stairway to the top (no handrails, though), and it certainly helps. Skellig Michael, Co. Kerry, Ireland. 10 July 2008.
