I see Mick Dundee up there with a hammer. As a tourist is there a way to pay to get up there? 50 feet higher from the water than the Dublin Spire is from the street. Decent height for a bridge that opened nearly a hundred years ago. Nice shot.
Yes, tourists can climb the bridge but you won't be able to bring a camera. They (BridgeClimb Sydney) will take some photos when you are up there that you can purchase. I don't remember the cost but it wasn't particularly expensive. The rules for the climb are fairly stringent but easy to meet. Stringent because you are 75 meters above a very busy roadway, on public infrastructure, insurance costs, etc.
Cool. Touché. Thanks for the reply. Not being able to bring a camera makes perfect sense, I'd say they were sick of tourists complaining about dropping theirs. Aside from the photos, how much was the cost of going up and was there a long queue? Did you go early and have to wait long?
I don't remember what I paid for the climb as it was a decade ago. Current prices can be seen on their web site at https://www.bridgeclimb.com. It appears for a single individual it would be ~250 USD/400 AUD.There was no queue as you reserve a date and time then show up during the prescribed window for your debriefing, breathalyzer (no inebriation when climbing the heights), putting on your climbing suit and harness, etc.
I recognize this from Saint Paul de Vence in Cote de Azur, just north of Nice.
