Bridge Climb

We did it! This morning we climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge. What a thrilling experience it was. We first were given a breathalyzer test, then signed the medical waiver and outfitted with special jumpsuits, radios, locking pulley belts, hats with hat clips, and headsets. Bill and I were part of a group of 11 climbers plus the guide. Groups that size went out every 10 minutes. The total climbing time was about 3 hours. Along the way, we stopped for our guide to point out various points of interest. Only the guide was allowed to have a camera (they don't take a chance on the climbers dropping anything) and he took pictures at a few spots. You can see that it was windy, but beautifully clear. We recommend this climb very highly to anyone visiting Sydney and want to thank our terrific travel agent Chris Meny for suggesting it to us.

Here we are at the summit. The Opera House is on the right hand side.
