I'm thinking about it.

(I'm stupidly afraid of heights and have particular issues about mesh steps and ladders, but who's always whining about being too afraid of too much crap to be an actor? So I'm thinking about it -- we'll see where my balls and my bank account inersect).

OMG! Wow, That is so daring if you do!! I'd...just die, and I'm not that afraid of heights! But on the other hand you would get some amazing pictures.

We'll see if it happens -- my physical bravery tends to be both sporadic and unpredictable, although I'm getting better and better lately I think.

I must confess that the idea has appeal for a range of weird reasons (including the impossibility of such an activity in NYC and the fact that my parents would go absolutely nuts -- which is dumb at my age, but there's this constant thing where I want them to grasp, if nothing else about me, my force of will).

I do understand (especially based off of the other posts you've had about them..) doing it to prove you could to your parents, just make sure it's in the budget and that no other once in a lifetime things get missed. I have to say, I went to Ireland back in August and missed much more than I'd have liked.

I've long wanted to go to Australia myself and as an inadequate substitute for actually going bought and read numerous guide books and "visited" on the web.

I think for the bridge climb you're roped to the bridge and put in special jumpsuits you can't open so that you can't a)drop things or b) take your own pictures. This means that they take the picture and you get to decide whether to give them an arm or a leg for it.

If faced with the opportunity I'm still not sure which way I'd jump, it would be an amazing thing but .... it's really high.

Yeah. You get one picture for free -- enough to prove you've done it, which would be all I care about -- despite being very grateful for the loan of a digital camera for the trip, I'm actually not a big picture person.

Eh. It's a great bridge, and I'm sure the views are nice - all Sydney views are nice - but for that price you should really be bungee jumping off it, not just hiking up and down.

The uniforms... costumes...

...are very Jetson-esque. Lavender and purple? Later in the site, I saw climbers in jet-black ninja outfits.

Seems like a very ... rigorous experience. I'm certain it will make for an interesting story.
