Sydney Bridge Climb

Touching Rivets in Sydney Harbour

If told to think of Sydney, 5 out of 10 people will tell you the Sydney Harbour Bridge is the city's number one attraction. Fewer of those who've made it Down Under will have actually had the nerve to climb what the locals refer to as "the coathanger," a 1439-step climb to the summit of the bridge, where, incidentally, some 1100 marriage proposals have been made.

It seems that BridgeClimb Sydney is about to get even better. Tickets went on sale today for a new version of the adventure, called the Discovery Climb, which takes visitors through the middle of the bridge's structure rather than across its top. A big bonus highlighted by their website is you'll "be able to touch the raw steel and rivets," but it might be that you need an engineering degree to get your kicks from this. Just the same, you still end up 134 meters above the water (just a touch top far to jump), so pick your route, or splash out on both, if you have the nerve.
