Climb Over Brisbanes Story Bridge

As a climber, you ll be required to arrive at our base headquarters at least 15 minutes prior to your scheduled Story Bridge Adventure Climb departure. During this time, your Climb Leader will explain the route and the all-important safety procedures. A climb simulator is then used to help you prepare you for the adventure ahead. Climbs depart at 20 minute intervals.

A variety of accessories including hats, handkerchiefs, sunglasses lanyards, all-weather jackets, fleece jackets and sunscreen is available for you to use depending on the conditions on the bridge.

You will then be attached to the static line, and your climb experience begins.

From base headquarters at Kangaroo Point, you will make your way to the halfway house. Here the commentary begins and continues throughout the climb - relating to the history of Brisbane and its most famous bridge along with many other interesting facts and figures.

The route then ascends through the road level on to the anchor arm on the eastern side of the bridge. Here the incline is at its greatest as you make your way to the Summit Top Platform - one of the two high points of the climb (each approximately 80 metres above sea level). It s from here that you will first experience the awe-inspiring 360 degree views of Brisbane, its river and surrounding stunning mountain ranges.

From the eastern summit top platform, the route gradually descends along the eastern cantilever arm towards the central platform. The central platform allows you to traverse the width of the bridge high above the six lanes of traffic. Once on the western cantilever arm, climbers begin the gradual ascent to the western summit top platform for another opportunity to take in the panorama.

The route then follows down the western anchor arm of the bridge back through the road deck to the halfway house where the incline is once more at its steepest.
