*** Self-sustaining or not, its impractical to scale a wall to get to A and B . Especially when it’s unnecessary, in the long run. It would serve no purpose realistically except to look really cool. Logically the first thing any residents of an Island with a deep cliff would put in is stairs because that would make sense. Not to mention Amazons and horses go hand in hand. Livestock as well are on the Island. They would need stairs to get the beach or from the beach to their homes. There is no reason not to have stairs at all.

*** Actually it makes perfect sense. First of all, they wouldn't be getting cargo to begin with...it's a self-sustaining island that's blessed by the gods or something and 100% self sufficient. Beyond that, climbing is an effective form of practical exercise -- and in ancient times practical exercise is how they did it. Take [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milo_of_Croton Milo of Croton]] whose exercise regimen included lifting a calf daily until it grew up as another ancient example. The Amazons are also isolated, with no interest in conquest...so the only two reasons they'd go down to that beach are recreation and exercise. That said, I imagine recreation ''would'' be a more likely reason the Amazon who found Helen would be there.

*** While climbing up and down huge cliffs on a daily basis sounds bad-ass it seems unpractical. What if you have to deliver cargo from the beach to home? Trying to organize carrying items, possibly fragile up a sheer cliff wall without dropping them or breaking them just to look bad-ass seems time consuming with no point. There Amazons, blessed by gods to be physical and mentally empowered. They have plenty of ways to train without something as time consuming and pointless as climbing up and down cliffs. What if they need to get home due to an emergency swiftly from the beach? What if they need to ride their horses from the beach to home or vice versa? Its more believable that the Amazons cut in stairs that we did not see due to vantage point. Due to that being more efficient and logical. Then they climbed up and down the cliff wall for cardio reasons.

*** Sounds logical, but that wasn't in the island's rendering. Alternatively, one might assume that climbing down and up said cliffs to reach the beach is a part of the Amazons' training. Perhaps Helen got rescued by an Amazon in training, or perhaps she's just so much of a badass that she scaled the cliffs herself?

** While unseen from the Drop ship’s vantage point, logically there would be steps from the beach to the Amazon's homes. Otherwise how would Amazon's get from the cliffs to the beach. Pragmatically speaking it would be one of the first things they would build for convenience.
