The experience
A guided climb to the summit of one of the world’s great steel arches.
A guided ascent of the Sydney Harbour Bridge’s upper arch, in a small group capped at 14 climbers led by one BridgeClimb guide, clipped to a static safety line for the entire route.
The climb begins with a safety briefing and harness fitting on an indoor training rig, then follows mesh ladders and catwalks up the bridge’s outer arch to the summit, 134 metres above the harbour, before a guided descent.
