Smears of black soot along the golden sandstone walls thrive due to the constant burning flames of the torches lighting the narrow space. Despite the warm, fiery glow, the steps plunging into the cliff's dark depths still appear to slant at a steep and treacherous angle. The only saving grace for the cramped passage is the absence of the violent, blustering sand churning through the air.
