Stair of the Hold

The Stair of the Hold was the road leading from the grassy encampment of Firienfeld to the clifftop refuge of Dunharrow, within the valley of Harrowdale. It consisted of a series of switchbacks leading up a cliff-face, with ancient statues known as Púkel-men at each turn.The Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King, Book Five, Ch. III: "The Muster of Rohan"
==History==
The stair and its Púkel-men figures were made by Men of the White Mountains in the Second Age.
In the year TA 2569, Brego, the second king of Rohan, and his son Baldor ascended the stair and discovered Dunharrow, as well as the Dark Door in the forest beyond. Baldor returned the following year, but was never seen alive again.The Lord of the Rings, Appendix A, Annals of the Kings and Rulers, II. "The House of Eorl"
During the War of the Ring, in TA 3019, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, and the Grey Company ascended the stair on their way to the Paths of the Dead.The Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King, Book Five, Ch. II: "The Passing of the Grey Company"
