CONQUERING OUR FEARS
Some of the adventurous ones of the group opted for a morning climb while in Sydney. What type of climb you ask, the Sydney Bridge Climb! Eight of the group, three of which have a fear of heights, made their way up to the top of the Sydney Bridge for sights of Sydney below. Unexpected by the group was the steady 55 knots of wind with occasional gusts of 70 knots! Thankfully, everything, including us, was attached to either ourselves or the bridge. They provided attractive grey jumpsuits with a fleece, beanie hat, handkerchief, glasses clips and a headset to hear our guide. Thank goodness because those winds were no joke. At times placing your foot on the next step was difficult because of the gusts.
No one counted the number of steps and we weren't allowed to wear our fitbits for the climb out of fear they could fall on the moving traffic below. Sydney Bridge is the busiest highway of the area with over 200,000 cars traveling across it daily.
It was quite the adventure and all were happy to have completed it! We weren't allowed to bring cameras so I only have the pictures from Anais. Here is the group shot and a few pictures from the bridge.
