One of the main attractions when visiting Sydney is to do the bridge climb. It was awesome! But only if the weather would have corporate. This week is the wettest week in Sydney. Since we arrive, the city has been receiving much needed rain. Tuesday morning was so nice; since then, rain, rain, rain...
Yesterday's climb was wet, windy and cold. The weather God did turn off the tap for about 3 and half hours during our accent and decent from the bridge. The wind God did not provide any leeway. Good thing I was accustomed golfing in Regina! The average wind speed was 30Km/hour. Average. On top on the bridge, I believed it was more than doubled. Funny though, we didn't feel we were about being blown off the top. We climbed all the way to the top where the flags were. What a view!
The gears we had to carry, the Bridgeclimb company did really think things through; we got everything for the climb - fleece, rain gear, radio receiver, our own jump suits. We had a static line; it was used to hold you in place during the entire tour. No jumping off from the top of the bridge - 134m from the surface of water.
We got a complimentary group photo. I will scan and post here when I get back to Shanghai.
