On my way to Telegraph Hill's long Greenwich and Filbert stairways, both of which ascend to Coit Tower.
About 40 Stockton Tunnel steps, Nob Hill down to Chinatown, first two pics. Stairs on both sides.
Waverly Place colors, Chinatown: 3, 4.
Up the Greenwich steps first this time from the foot at Sansome.
Breaking it down: 98 up to where the garden walkway begins between steps: 5, 6, 7, 8.
Alongside the garden and up to Montgomery (210 steps so far): 9 thru 15.
Now climbing Greenwich's brick part up from Montgomery to the Coit Tower parking lot, 387 steps total: 16 thru 22.
One of the main-floor murals inside Coit Tower: 23
There are several shorter stairways in Pioneer Park: 24, 25.
Back down now, this time on Filbert, around 383 steps from the top of the east Filbert stairs to Sansome.
So that’s about 120 from upper Filbert to lower Montgomery. Montgomery’s a divided street here: 26, 27.
161 to Darrell Place (used to live here). Darrell is a short walkway just below Montgomery and, like Napier Lane, an offshoot of the wood Filbert steps: 28, 29.
Darrell isn’t named as a street on Google Maps, but a name search will take you to it. It just shows an unnamed dead-end "street" between the Filbert and Greenwich steps.
(Darrell and Napier don’t connect with Greenwich.)
253 steps down to Napier Lane: 30, 31, 32.
Napier Lane, the short wood boardwalk with the pre-1906 homes (all but one, that is): 33, 34, 35.
Down to Sansome from Napier: 36, 37, 38, 39.
Peter Macchiarini sidewalk steps up from Broadway. Kearny's not thru for cars here; it's blocked off at the top at Vallejo except for pedestrians: 40, 41.
North Beach now. Off Broadway, Rowland has now been renamed Dirk Dirksen, but can’t find the newer name on Google Maps. Look for “Rowland”: 42, 43.
Off Kearny, below Broadway, dead-end Nottingham: 44, 45, 46.
Between Columbus and Grant, Jack Kerouac Alley: pic 47.
Joice, Nob Hill, about 67 steps, California down to Pine. The longtime altar is still there: last two pix.
