I think you're referring to how it was originally constructed, with expert climbers scaling the cliff and having to stand on each other's shoulders to get to the top. But the article says that was to establish "a road" without any indication of what that is or how one uses it today.
It's accessible only by helicopter. No one has ever lived there, so people only go there when it needs maintenance. It's been automated from the "start" which was delayed due to the war.
I guess it is chains. They are mentioned specifically in Wikipedia. It could have been chain ladder.
