Escalator Issues

I have been to a lot of sporting events in my day and the one constant is that stadium escalators to the upper levels (where I usually sit) go up when all of the people are going to their seats and go down when people are leaving their seats. This is to increase escalator throughput and because it just makes sense. Well it sure doesn't make sense to this woman who tries to defy the laws of physics and walk up an escalator that is going down, which would definitely be easier if the escalator wasn't full of people. What I envision as a huge personal victory for the woman...she made it!!!

By the way, escalator banks are almost always accompanied by stairs or elevators close by, which would be much less fun to watch.
