Create a short description of a eerie scene outside a cave with handholds, a ladder, and rungs.

The steady drip of water trickling down the sides of the smooth obsidian walls reverberates with a cascade of echoes throughout the dark shaft. Creaking loudly with any weight placed upon its shabby rungs, the old ladder adds readily to the strange music. The absence of a few rungs requires the use of nearby handholds eroded out of the otherwise slick surface of the rock.
