Well done Wellard, I too plan to do the Sydney Harbour bridge climb, but I heard it was expensive..was it?

Bravo Wellard, I also have a massive fear of heights and am glad to hear of someone doing such an impressive feat and overcoming the fear.

Be sure to let us see the photos, I am sure the view was amazing.

Well done Welard! I'm not to keen on heights, but I did climb to the top of the eiffel tower on Sunday (school trip to france and belgium) and I was really not looking forward to it on the stairs up, but at the top I was like "wow, you can see loads of Paris". Then we had free time and got lost [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]
Apologies if I make the topic about france, big structures or getting lost

Again well done, it must have been cool reaching the top!

'grats wellard! i cant' imagine being there. i personally believe we have our irrational fears for a reason. not always to protect us but to help us grow. would you have done that if you did not have a fear of heights? i dunno how popular the trip is, but i personally wouldn't do anything like that unless i had something to beat.

good luck with conquering your fear!

heyy i tried that once, it definitly is scarey! you have cars zooming below you and the sea winds pushing you against the rail, i wanted to get off too! have you also noticed the price for it? well its worth it i reckon. u need the true courage of an aussie bloke to withstand that pressure

I to have done the bridge climb and while they do say that 90 year old grandmothers have done it I was a bit scared at some points as i to have a fear of heights. Hoever the rush you get while facing your fear is nothing short of fantastic.

Well done! and it sounds like you well and truley deserved that beer!

EDIT: Next time we have a Sydney get to gether Wellard we will all go Bungee Jumping!

Pass on the bungee jumping

I know lots of real old people do the bridge climb TDC, I just had to see if I could controll my fear. My fear will always be there, it will never leave, I just dont like being a slave to it

I think you're fargone crazy! My legs are weak just reading this. I'm perfectly comfortable right down here. Not a big fan of heights myself although I don't mind planes. I think it's that it's so high I know I'll be dead for sure if anything happens.

Just a pic halfway to the top of the bridge. Note the false smile [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

I will add some more when I get back to Australia in late November
