3 Sydney Bridge Climb, Sydney, Australia
The sheer achievement of climbing the Harbour Bridge in Sydney is as satisfying as the panorama unfolding beneath your feet. The waterfront, the Opera House and, on a clear day, views from the Pacific to the Blue Mountains. But when should you climb? By day, there's real energy with road traffic and ferries scuttling below. There's a special magic at night, with your personal headlight shining your way as the city glows electric around you, while a twilight climb gives you a taste of each.
