I bet it all exceeds the cost of adding a second line of
cables alongside the existing one.
Not after you get done with the EI report and 15 years of court fights with various "do gooder" organizations.
One more cable and doubling the width of the steps establishing an up and a down side would fix 90% of the problems.
There's still no accounting for stupidity. People are still going to die up there.

Took my daughter Kali and her good buddy Maia, age 7, up to climb the cables in 1995. My first time back in many years and I was appalled at the hordes.
One person with a cardiac and the route would be a bowling alley gone wild. Bailed out and took the kids horseback riding the next day.

I took my wife up the cables a few years ago. We got a crack start so we were almost the first ones up. The hordes had arrived by the time we started down. I came close to pushing a couple of a-holes off. If you want to seriously degrade your opinion of people then doing the cables is a good exercise. If there ever is a next time, and I can't imagine why that would be, I'm taking a #10 hex on a long sling for crowd control.

Dapper,
I was part of the horde but I took exception with the few individuals who thought they were above the mundane mores of common decency to the point of being a hazard to us of the horde content with an orderly procession.
