Finding BridgeClimb

Climbs depart from 3 Cumberland Street in The Rocks, a short walk from Circular Quay, at the southern end of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

• By train or ferry: Circular Quay station and ferry wharves are a short walk away.
• On foot: follow the streets of The Rocks up to Cumberland Street, beside the southern approach to the bridge.
• Before arrival: leave time for the journey and entry checks so you are ready for your booked slot.

Useful stops along the way

Facilities can change through the year. Visitors can usually expect:

• Lockers for your belongings, as nothing is carried on the bridge.
• Climb suits and gear suited to the day’s weather.
• A printed group photo from the summit.
• Cafés and restaurants in The Rocks nearby.

Wear enclosed rubber-soled shoes and bring your glasses; phones and cameras stay in the lockers. Ask staff about current arrangements when you arrive.

A visit that works for you

The climb involves ladders and 1,332 steps, and climbers must be at least 8 years old and 1.2 metres tall. Climbers aged 75 or over, or up to 24 weeks pregnant, need a GP’s Certificate of Fitness, and essential medication such as inhalers can be carried; ask BridgeClimb on the day.

• Check arrangements for your particular mobility or access needs before travelling.
• If you are bringing a stroller, confirm the current arrangements before arrival.
• Ask BridgeClimb staff for assistance or directions during your visit.

Enjoy the climb thoughtfully

• Keep to the visitor paths, walk rather than run, and supervise children.
• Follow your Climb Leader’s instructions and carry nothing but your glasses and essential medication.
• Smoking and animals are not permitted on the site.
• Commercial photography and filming, including product promotion, need permission.
• Follow the signs and staff guidance, including any restrictions in the exhibition spaces.

A blood-alcohol reading below .05 is required: everyone is breath-tested before the climb.

Make time for a pause

The Rocks and Circular Quay have plenty of cafés and restaurants for a meal before or after your climb.

• Stop for breakfast, lunch, a hot drink or refreshments nearby.
• Leave room in your plans to sit down and enjoy the setting.
• Check opening hours and menus on the day; food and drinks are purchased separately.

Smart glasses and other wearable recording devices are not allowed on the climb.

A few details worth planning

• Book ahead: choose the date, time and places you want to visit before making other plans.
• Keep your QR ticket ready: save it on your phone or bring a printed copy, with any proof needed for reduced admission.
• Start in the right place: go to 3 Cumberland Street in The Rocks in good time for check-in, with ID for every adult climber.
• Dress for exploring: enclosed rubber-soled shoes and your glasses or sunglasses; the climb suit and gear are provided.
• Leave space to linger: allow about three hours from check-in to the end of the climb.
