a nearly-vertical section of the Precipice Trail to Champlain Mountain in Maine

There are also some steep (almost vertical) ups on the trail. A trailhead sign says: "The Precipice is maintained as a non-technical climbing route, not a hiking trail." This section alternates between metal rungs and ladders. The scary part is that a slip could be fatal, which is why I have listed this hike as "difficult".
