When I was on it you could only walk down from the top. Bits of vandalism to the commemorative carvings that line the walls. I believe it’s closed now. Main reason I remember is they had too many people that needed rescuing from the effort.
You want obsessive-compulsive? How about someone who HAS to check the math on this. It’s wrong. 897/3 is 299, which isn’t divisible by 9. It is divisible by 13 and 23, which is also something only an obsessive-compulsive person would know.

Should that not be sufficient to calm your qualms, try a nice relaxing bowl of easily divisible gazpacho.

That’s not the Washington Monument – it’s a huge pencil for drawing a gigantic Doug…

The record to get to the top is 6 minutes and 42 seconds. I heard it was set by some guy named George Santos.

897 is divisible by 3, 13, and 23 (3 prime numbers all ending in 3).
In fact, 3 × 13 × 23 = 897.
