vertical emergency stairs/steps

Hi how to tag several vertical emergency steps on a quai just to save swimmers from drowning. For instance : Highway=path, incline=100% and situation/position vertical, material=steel ?

incline=100% is not the same as vertical. An incline of 100% is just a 45° angle but not 90°.

Thanks Ill use vertical=yes for these special stairways to heaven, they allow you to leave the water of the harbor after you have fallen into it between the ship and the harbour.

The hint or answer of andy is a mountainering tool to reach the top of a mountain (In German Klettersteig)
