When I first went to Gib...I got up as far as the apes.At that time the way down was by cable car....but it stopped a way off the cliff face and the walkway was narrow and a sheer drop down....no way could I walk along it so we proceeded to try and walk down...got rescued by two nice soldiers who took us down through the military base, otherwise I would still be up there
