i climbed it! yes, one of the activities that i wanted to tick off 2 years ago. i did it last wednesday on th 23rd. yup, 23 days into June.
weather was not ideal, pouring rain cause the photos not to turn out well. but we did have the experience of climbing the bridge both in dry and wet conditions.
because it was raining, we had to put on extra clothing to prevent us from freezing at the top of the bridge which means that the preparation time took a lil bit longer. Pretty exciting when we departed for the summit. the only "danger" part is when we climbed the vertical ladders from the bottom of the pylon to the road level. with the slippery steps, we need to take extra care and all came good in the end, everyone was safe and sound
the climb on the arch was very enjoyable. wide space for us to enjoy the view, less the rain, and kinda like the expedition kind of walk. down part, as I say, were the photos.
thanks to denise for organising this, although the weather was not perfect, it was good that everyone could get togther and do something that will be memorable for all of us for the rest of our lives. i like it and dinner/desserts after was enjoyable as well and we got to buy some souvenirs to remind us of the climb. driving past the bridge every morning will be different now and will remind me of the experience that we've got on the 23rd June 2010.
