[quote=katex;787657]I disagree Retlaw that we should just accept the nickname they have been given .. usually a great story of local interest and the ways of our past ancestors. Someone will remember why they were called 'monkey steps' somewhere. Think Atarah not far off the mark ... just the way they had to be climbed or summat like that ... the way of a monkey.
