Climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge: An Experience of a Lifetime with BridgeClimb Sydney

Updated: 11/05/2023

Climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge is one of the most exhilarating experiences in the world. Standing 134 meters high, the Harbour Bridge offers breathtaking views of Sydney harbour, including the iconic Opera House and the city skyline. If you’re considering taking on this adventure, there’s only one way to do it – with BridgeClimb Sydney. BridgeClimb Sydney has been offering guided tours of the Harbour Bridge since 1998 and has taken over 4 million climbers to the top of the landmark. The company provides a safe and thrilling experience that will leave you with memories to last a lifetime. Preparing for the Climb Before the climb, BridgeClimb Sydney provides climbers with a comprehensive briefing, which includes safety instructions, guidelines, and a rundown of the equipment used during the climb. The briefing takes about 20-30 minutes but provides crucial information to ensure a successful and enjoyable climb. After the briefing, climbers are given a jump-suit, a radio headset, and a safety harness. You’ll also be asked to take a breathalyser test to ensure everyone is safe during the climb. Don’t worry; the test is just a formality, and it’s not meant to be invasive. The Climb The climb is divided into different stages, each with its unique perspective of the city and historical information given by your guide. The first stage takes you to the base of the bridge, where you’ll be walking on catwalks beside the traffic on the bridge. The second stage involves walking up a set of stairs to the arch’s interior.

Sydney’s known for two things: the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Both are iconic, but only one lets you climb it – and this year, the Bridge is supporting a charity and doing some good for the community. Following an incredible inaugural event last year which saw over 550 participants and more than $70,000 raised, BridgeClimb Sydney is thrilled to announce the return of its Climb for a Cause charity event on Sunday May 7, 2023, supporting Black Dog Institute, Australia’s leading mental health research institute. Doing more for the world than just allowing commuters aboard, the Sydney Harbour Bridge and BridgeClimb are fast-becoming not just a fun outdoor social activity, but an engine for change. For one day only, individuals, groups, and organisations can come together to ascend the magnificent arches of the Sydney Harbour Bridge while raising awareness and important funds towards a mentally healthier world.

by James Banham

Posted: 10/05/2022

The annual Vivid light festival is coming back to Sydney 27 May to 18 June and the world renowned Sydney Opera House is getting in on the action. Running from Thursday to Monday throughout the festival period, the first Vivid Climb will go each afternoon and anyone walking will reach the summit of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in time to witness Sydney’s soul come alive with a dazzling display of colour. And this year, in a BridgeClimb first, Vivid Climb groups will also be greeted with light installations throughout their pre-climb journey and will get to top off their night with a complimentary post-climb gin and tonic in the pop-up Hendrick’s Gin Unusual Celebration Bar. If you’re fancying a climb, then you’re looking at two options to see the lights this year… Vivid Photographer Tour + Masterclass: a once-in-a-lifetime experience on the South-East Pylon’s Gundeck (not usually open to the public) with a short masterclass on night time shooting followed by a Vivid photography session with Glenn McKimmin. Pylon & Picasso: an art class, hosted by Pinot & Picasso, atop the beloved Sydney Harbour Bridge’s South-East Pylon, starting with a guided tour of the BridgeClimb Pylon Lookout & Museum before the art class commences from the lookout level.
