Great Wall climb

To get to the cable car you had to climb a pretty steep hill (pic. 1). Pic. 2 is of the view down from where you enter the cable car. Pic. 3 is the first sight of the wall as you get close in the cable car. At this point one doesn't wonder why this section of the wall was never defended. No one in their right mind would climb up to attack. I was surprised that anyone in their right mind would have built the thing as we were told all the stones had to be packed up the hill by humans. It must have taken an incredible toll!
