Fascinating. I visited the Cliff Palace in 2012, one of the most fascinating places I've every been. It was pretty exciting/scary getting there, you have to climb four, 8- to 10-foot (2.6-3 m) ladders, for a
100-foot (30 m) overall vertical ascent. But nothing like Balcony House, which involved climbing a 32-foot (10 m) ladder; crawling through a 12-foot (3.7 m) long by 18-inch (46 cm) wide tunnel,
and climbing 60 feet (20 m) up an exposed cliff face, using two 10- to 12-foot (3.0 - 3.7 m) ladders (the worst part of the asscent) and a series of stone steps. And me 69 with acrophobia!
