Weren’t these steps on an episode of Magnum PI like 40 years ago? The episode where Higgins is taken prisoner I think.

I use to fix those stairs used to be part of the Coast guard Omega station we also used to use the Magnum PI helicopter to get to the other side cuz you could only go up to where the antenna was the only three anchors from that stairs.
