BridgeClimb Sydney, Tourist attraction in The Rocks, Sydney, Australia
BridgeClimb Sydney is a tourist attraction in The Rocks, Sydney, that offers guided climbs on the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The experience includes a steep steel stairway with safety cables and a route along the bridge's upper arch, where climbers are secured to a cable throughout.
BridgeClimb Sydney was launched in October 1998 after years of planning by founder Paul Cave. It became the world's first tourism operator to offer bridge climbing as an experience.
The Burrawa climb, launched in 2021, includes commentary on the indigenous history of Sydney Harbour from an Aboriginal storyteller. This experience offers a different perspective on the bridge and its surroundings.
Climbers must be at least eight years old and in good health; there is no maximum age. The climb involves steep stairs and open metal walkways, so wear comfortable shoes and be ready for heights.
The summit of the bridge has been the site of over 4,000 marriage proposals, and couples can also get married on the bridge, 134 m (440 ft) above the harbour. The climb has attracted celebrities such as Matt Damon, Kylie Minogue, and Prince Harry.
