Jacob's
Ladder at Kings Park
 |
|
Cliff
Street, start of Jacobs Ladder -
are
we ready?
|
Jacob's Ladder is not for the faint hearted. Just short of 300 hundred
steps will take you on a steep 43 metre descent from Cliff Street
down to Mounts Bay Road. If you are after a good workout or are
training up for a big mountain climb adventure, this is the place
for you.
So
the saying goes that "An apple a day keeps the doctor away."
Well, the equivalent saying in relation to exercise is that "A
step up and down Jacobs Ladder keeps those pounds away".
The
challenge of Jacob's Ladder is to run, walk, (and eventually stagger
if you are not fit!) up and down around 300 hundred steps (242 steps
and counting).
Jacob's
Ladder is located at the end of Cliff Street which marks the boundary
of Kings Park. The descent will take you to Mounts Bay Road. It
surely gets that cardio vascular system working and if you are a
regular visitor to Jacobs Ladder, you will get a chance to chat
to those friendly Perth locals who are doing it again every day.

Finally
made Jacobs Ladder -
let's start again!
|
How
to get there:
If
you are coming up Malcolm Road from the city, as you reach the top
of the hill, take a left turn onto Cliff Street just before the
roundabout (landmark to watch out for is the Edith Cowan Clock Memorial)
to the main entrance to Kings Park. Jacobs Ladder is located at
the end of Cliff Street.
If
you are coming along Kings Park Road (heading from Subiaco), continue
pass the roundabout, and just after the roundabout, turn right onto
Cliff St. Jacobs Ladder is located at the end of Cliff Street.
