Field guide No. 674
Impossible white stair loop
Goes nowhere, both ways.
A white stone staircase climbs, curls over at the top and comes back down underneath itself in a single loop, standing alone in a blue room. It is excellent exercise and no help at all.
Field noteEvery step on this loop is going up, including the ones on the way down.
