About this audio guide
This audio guide to Sandviksfjellet in Bergen is about the staircase that brings most people to its top, and the hands that laid it. It reaches back to the jobless young men of the nineteen-thirties and the headmaster who championed their work, then forward to the Nepali Sherpas the city called in when the stone began to shift. Best heard at the summit, looking back down the gully you just climbed.
