SYDNEY – Sydney’s BridgeClimb will celebrate its 21st birthday in October with 90s tunes, free chocolate and throwback prices.
The bridge has had some big names climb over it since October 1, 1998, such as Prince Harry, Oprah, Hugh Jackman, Derek Zoolander and Will Smith.
At 440 feet above sea level, the bridge has become an iconic landmark to pop the question, get married, celebrate, overcome a fear of heights, qualify for bragging rights or simply take in Sydney’s harbour and surrounds.
To mark the anniversary, BridgeClimb has announced it is throwing back to the inaugural 1998 climb ticket prices.
• All climbs A$98 (US$68) on October 1. Tickets will go on sale at 9am, Thursday September 12 from www.bridgeclimb.com.
• 1998 tunes - All climbs, all month, will feature a playlist of 1998 tunes at the summit.
• 21st sweet treats - Post-climb free chocolate from Darrell Lea, which once housed its chocolate factory under the arches.
“We’ve had one person climb the bridge 133 times and we look forward to welcoming him to his 134th climb,” said BridgeClimb CEO Chris Zumwalt.
