In this example the player can take two paths to the treasure, and takes 5 steps in either case. A player may move in any allowable direction, but this example shows a path towards the treasure.

Move 1: The player can either fall safely down the one-way chute, o go to the top of the ladder

Move 2: The player can move to the middle of the ladder

Move 3: The player can move to the bottom of the ladder

Move 4: The player must encounter the spider

Move 5: The player must encounter the treasure

"Encountering" means rolling dice and getting an outcome. One or two dice are rolled, and this determines battle outcome, how much gold is in chests, etc.
