De Groot's Sword Returns to Open Sydney Harbour Bridge Centre


SYDNEY, Oct. 2 /Medianet International-AsiaNet/ --


    Announcing BridgeClimb's New Climb Base, a New Climb, and the first Sydney

Harbour Bridge Visitor Centre


    BridgeClimb Sydney launched its dramatic new Climb Base, which will be home to

the first-ever Sydney Harbour Bridge Visitor Centre, as well as a new climbing

adventure called The Express Climb.


    Located next to BridgeClimb's original operation, the new Climb Base boasts a

one-of a-kind design, inside a grand heritage archway. The architecture incorporates

smart, stylish features that create a theatrical experience for Climbers while still

conserving energy and preserving the heritage of the space. 


    An awesome 7.3 metre ceiling fan, which can move up to 80,000 litres of air per

minute, has been installed inside the Climb Base to cool Climbers on warmer days as

they prepare for their Climb. Then, once Climbers are wearing their BridgeSuit, they

will have the opportunity to walk along a catwalk, which is suspended over the Climb

Base's Café and foyer, before they depart for their Climb adventure on arches of the

Sydney Harbour Bridge. 


    The new Climb Base will also be home to the first-ever Sydney Harbour Bridge

Visitor Centre. Offering free entry and full disabled access, this will be the first

fully accessible space situated in and dedicated to Australia's icon. Visitors will

be welcome to immerse themselves in interactive exhibits, display galleries and a 46

seat digital high definition cinema devoted to sharing the stories of the Sydney

Harbour Bridge from preconstruction to the present day.


    From today, Climbers will now have the choice of three amazing Climb adventures.

The newest experience, The Express Climb, is the fastest Climb to the top of the

Bridge. The Express Climb offers more of BridgeClimb's team on hand to assist

Climbers with a quicker Climb preparation. Climbers will now have the opportunity to

discover the wonders of this amazing structure and the thrilling views of Sydney, in

just over 2 hours.


    The Express Climb will complement BridgeClimb's two established 3.5 hour Climb

experiences, The Discovery Climb and The Bridge Climb. 


    All three Climb experiences lead Climbers to the summit of the Sydney Harbour

Bridge, are available at Dawn, Day, Twilight and at Night, and will captivate

Climbers from beginning to end.
