Not zoomed in proper but they look like pre cast concrete bolted onto a steel frame. Good luck trying that as a DIY project. You would need to be a descent draughtsman or have cad skills. Be able to weld and know exactly how to re enforce concrete properly and be a descent mould maker.
Not impossible from a DIY perspective but not the easiest project

Looks like steal hidden riser, form work with wide metal plate a mesh set in concrete then plates bolted to riser underneath ?

1st dig a big hole. Line one side with Gabon’s. Buy some steps.

Might be above but don't think so. Works same way as stringless sprial staircases. Small block of concrete acts as a pivot under each step, except the first and the last that rest on the ground. The offset weight of each step counterbalances the weight of the one above. Reinforcement in the concrete step is linked thru the block between each step. Think my brother did something like it in wood inside his house years ago.
You don't want it, you'll fall off when drunk, ice, dark, rushing etc.

Errrm.... that doesn't work very well with a 2-D photograph!

But he was there , no?

Why didnt you ask while taking pics

I don't know for sure if Vincey was there or not, but I would've thought this thread would be redundant if he had been.

 

[tapit]

I guessed that was his reflection taking the picture. i have been known to be wrong though. (think it was in 1986}

Just use crates for steps! Retro grolch one would look nice and you can scrape mud off feet before entering property

I stole the picture from somewhere not my job lads

I think steps would be better build in small gabion blocks to match the wall and then a nice step on the top.
