That is one of biggest irritants to people who work at the GC. Many people walk down not realizing there's no elevator to get back up.
Yep, so I made sure when I went with my kids that I didn’t go down any farther than I could make it back up.
Back in the 80’s, my college roomate and I walked down.
It was the easiest/fastest 9 mile walk in my life. The return trip was an epic from greek mythology. We were crawling on ice in blinding show storm in the dark for the last 1000 feet of elevation (it was 70 degrees at the bottom for our picnic lunch).
