Geology question: Pukaskwa



Two ladders in this photograph, one is a close up the other is very far away, so look closely. How can a ladder like structure form in a rock face? Is it weathering? Was there a mineral in this rock face that weathered away and the rocks remaining are more resistant? Was freeze-thaw action working on the rocks? How did this develop?
