I have climbed the steps to the top of the Pyramid of the Sun. An amazing view from there. You can see so much. But it was an arduous and somewhat treacherous climb. Steps are very uneven. I can see where people could fall and even die on those steps. So sad that someone chose such a beautiful and peaceful place to do kill and do violence.
