During a recent vacation to Sydney, I saw a group of people climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge. At first I was concerned because I did not know people were allowed to do it, but once I found out it was a tour I decided that it was definitely something I should experience. I loved climbing up there, it was exhilarating. Plus, once you reach the top, you get an unparalleled view of Sydney.

The Sydney Bridge spans the Sydney Harbor and is the world's largest steel-arch bridge. If you are fit, not afraid of heights and over 10 years of age it is a great adventure. You climb over 1400 steps to get to the top of the bridge and look out over Sydney. But to say there are over 1400 steps is a little misleading. You walk over catwalks that look straight down, shimmy your way around girders on very narrow passageways, and up ladders. You go up in small groups and are lead by a tour guide who urges you on (I needed lots of urging) in a polite way. But once you start, you cannot stop its only one way so make sure you really really want to do this and are able to do this. But once you make it to the top, it is a great feeling, until you realize that you are only half way done because you have to get down. They now offer 2 types of climbs; the Bridge Climb and the new Discovery Climb which is even more challenging.
