i hope you mean if i was actually speaking to someone, because i can't type without using my hands, but if i were to speak the answer these are the words i would say:
Spiral stairs wind around a central pole. They typically have a handrail on the outer side only, and on the inner side just the central pole. A squared spiral stair assumes a square stairwell and expands the steps and railing to a square, resulting in unequal steps (larger where they extend into a corner of the square). A pure spiral assumes a circular stairwell and the steps and handrail are equal and positioned screw-symmetrically. A tight spiral stair with a central pole is very space efficient in the use of floor area. A user of these stairs must take care to not step to close to the central pole as it becomes more likely that one or more steps may be missed, especially when going down. One should always take care to continuously use the handrail so that additional support is available in the event that a step is missed. Using the handrail will also direct the user to the safer outer portion of the treads.

It is a spiraling staircase, with the steps in a triangular shape, rotating up and around a center post, allowing for near-vertical assention without being the Son of God.

Yes. It is a series of steps ascending around a central column. What's the problem?

It curves around at a slight tilt like the double helix in DNA, eventually overlapping its curves one or more times if it is long enough or wrapping around a column...... Ta-dah!! : )
Word practice is always a wonderful exercise. Good question.

Yes, use your legs and pretend you are climbing higher in a spiral fashion.
