Produce a detailed written description of a dreary scene outside a cliff with a niche, a path, and a wall.

The broader expanse of rock to the southwest tilts and sharpens to the north, as if the outcropping itself resisted further efforts to scale its imposing face. It must have taken persevering labor to forge the narrow path that struggles the north and south route. A roughly carved niche in the eastern face of the rocky wall offers more evidence that the path was the work of hands, not nature.
