    The first thing we had to do was create a road up to the cliff. We got together of experienced mountaineers, all from the Westman Islands. Then we brought drills, hammers, chains and clamps to secure the chains. Once they got near the top there was no way to get any grip on the rock so one of them got down on his knees, the second stood on his back, and then the third climbed on top of the other two and was able to reach the nib of the cliff above. I cannot even tell you how I was feeling whilst witnessing this incredibly dangerous procedure.

      This refers to how it was originally constructed, but it’s not clear what “a road” is or how one uses it today.

      I wonder how they got the materials for building the lighthouse up there.

      Is this “road” in the room with us right now?
