This is the climb up Sydney Harbour Bridge. You get all geared up in climbing harness even take a breathalyser go through a training session and off you go with a guide that climbs right up the girders to the top with you. It really shakes when trains go over, It is also the world's widest long-span bridge, at 48.8 m (160 ft) wide, until construction of the new Port Mann Bridge in Vancouver was completed in 2012.The arch has a span of 504 m (1,654 ft) and its summit is 134 m (440 ft) above mean sea level; I could talk all day about the bridge but I will say I was glad it had 6 million rivets holding it together. They have to take 8-10 people a week down that freeze up and get scared climbing it. A fast approaching thunderstorm sped things up at the top.
