Sydney Harbour Bridge


Christmas Eve morning Marissa and I climbed to the top of this Sydney icon. It cloudy and misty but the view was spectacular and the climb was exhilarating. They started allowing people to climb the bridge about ten years ago. We traversed the suspension arch, winded our way through a tangle of hatchways and girders suspended above the traffic, and finally climbed between the arches to the summit. We wore "Bridge suits" and were harnessed to a line. We were also breath-tested for alcohol and were not allowed to take anything up with us - including a camera.
