Ascending, you go to the top of the steps, right then left on the gravel path; when the gravel path turns to rock you go up due east on steep grass to the marshals at the top; you don't go through the black metal gate, but you are close to it. Descending - from the marshals, head initially north, curving around to east either side of the 60 upper stone steps - I counted them - then around to almost heading south until that short upper gravel path runs out/turns to rock, then turn right NNW on the steep grass. You do not go back through that gap in the wall - that is well over your left. You only encounter the steps used in ascent again when you are almost at the kissing gate.
