Cable car....too darn old to walk up there...LOL
What I did find quite amazing, was the “ramp” the Romans built to lay siege to the place. Also, the system for water was very interesting.

If I remember, the legion that built the ramp was recalled from Britannia to suppress the Bar Kokhbah rebellion. They spent ten years building that ramp by hand, until it was high enough for them to ascend to the summit. Of course, by then the occupants had all died. A pyrrhic victory for both sides.
