OVERVIEW

Here’s your chance to experience a once-in-a-lifetime thrill as you embark on a safe but scary climb up to the summit of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Don’t worry, organized climbs have been ascending the span for years now. Your local escort will walk you to BridgeClimb HQ, where you’ll be given an extensive safety briefing, issued a special Bridge Climb Suit to wear over your clothing, and outfitted with an all-important safety harness. Proceeding to the Climb simulator, your experienced Climb Leader will ensure that you’re up to speed on ladder procedures and harness use. Then, set up with radio and headset for hearing your leader’s commentary, it’s time to get out there! During approximately two hours on the bridge, your group of 12 climbers will make its way over 4,900 feet of steel, weaving through catwalks and up ladders – all to reach the most spectacular part of all, the upper arch climb. As birds-eye views of Sydney Harbour and the city fully surround you, your Climb Leader will capture the “historic” moment on camera.


HIGHLIGHTS

• Gather your courage for a never-to-be-forgotten adventure as you literally climb one of the world’s most iconic bridges.
• With your Climb Leader’s briefing under your belt, a climb Suit over your clothes, and your safety harness ready to click in when instructed, begin your ascent.
• Spend two adrenaline-laced hours crossing catwalks, climbing ladders, and making your way to the upper arch and back.


HELPFUL HINTS

• Wear comfortable clothing; a Climb Suit must be worn over during the climb.
• Bring a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen as needed.
• Flat, rubber-soled athletic shoes with a closed toe are mandatory.

Note: This tour is not available to wheelchair guests, pregnant women, or those with mobility concerns, heart problems, asthma, epilepsy, or recent back/neck injuries. It is also not recommended for those with a fear of heights. Guests must be physically fit and able to climb ladders and steep slopes. The actual bridge climb lasts some 2 hours and traverses nearly 5,000 feet of steps, catwalks, arches and ladders. The walk to and from The Rocks involves some uneven and cobblestone surfaces. No one under the influence of alcohol or drugs may participate. A breathalyzer test will be performed to each participant before the climb. A release form must be signed before taking part in the tour. Due to the nature of the climb, nothing may be carried with you onto the bridge; however, photo opportunities will be available during The Rocks walk. The Bridge Climb also required climbers aged 75 years or older to have a completed Certificate of Fitness signed by a Doctor. Anyone ages 75 years or older that does not have this certificate completed and signed will not be permitted to climb.
