The Coronians always boast of its 700+ steps. I believe it's the second-highest place in Coron, and their good people decided to draw travellers to its summit by building all those steps, with at least 10 rest stops (5 of which offers shade).
It does offer a great "Welcome to Coron" experience. As you climb up, you see more and more of the many limestone formations/islands that make up Coron, how pristine its waters are and how really beautiful the island is.
The climb takes less than an hour (a lot less if you're super fit), but one shouldn't really rush and miss taking in the wonderful view.

Mountaineers may also consult the locals because the view deck is a flat, perfect camp area and one can just imagine the gust of winds up there at night.
