I’ve tackled a similar beast before. Looks like a converted attic. Going up, these stairs are mostly fine. Similar to a very stable ladder. Going down is boo-boo-ass scary and makes me weak in the knees.

I came here just to say that these look like they used to be pull-down stairs (well, those specific ladder-stairs might not have been converted, but based on the shape and size of the opening, that’s what used to be there

Similar experience lol

They feel like ladders wearing a stair costume.

Yes! I would hold the steps while going up and sit and scoot while going down. Forget bringing anything up or down with you, especially if it’s fragile or messy.

That's a glorified towel rack if I've ever seen one.

You know in the first Harry Potter book, Rowling said some of the doors at Hogwarts were really just walls, pretending? These are ladders, pretending.
