FULL LENGTH TOUR DESCRIPTION
Your guide will meet you on the pier for a short walk to the nearby BridgeClimb – an adventure and an experience that will never be forgotten on one of the world’s most modern wonders – the Sydney Harbour Bridge. On arrival, you will meet your specialist Climb guide who will provide you with extensive safety briefing and issue you with your own clothing. You will receive a safety harness before you proceed to the next part of the experience – the Climb simulator where the Climb Leaders will ensure that you are comfortable with the ladder procedures and use of your harness. After the safety briefing you will be issued with a radio and comfortable headset so that you can hear the commentary of your Climb Leader, and then it is time to begin the Climb of Your Life.
You will spend approximately 2 hours on the Bridge and make your way over 1500 metres of steel as you weave through catwalks, up ladders and then to the most spectacular point of all – the upper arch climb. At this point you not only have a bird’s eye view of the beautiful Sydney Harbour and city, but you also have the exhilaration of the truly rewarding experience of reaching the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The Climb Leader, who escorts each group of twelve climbers is equipped with the latest in digital photographic technology to capture the moment and all climbers are issued with a complimentary photograph of their climb group and a certificate. Additional photographs are also taken which can be purchased at the conclusion of your climb.
Enjoy a celebratory drink at the historic Australia Pub before you walk back to the ship.
