The Bridge Climb

One of my multitudes of phobias is the fear of heights, so when my friend suggested we climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge I was less than enthused. It was a windy day and as we approached the bridge it seemed to grow like a mountain of steel before us. I gathered my courage and began my ascent into the clouds and mist. Thankfully we were harnessed to the bridge so there was no real threat of falling but the thought still lingered in my mind. It was raining making the rungs of the steep ladders slippery which made me more nervous. After climbing for a good while my legs began to ache and wobble increasing the difficulty of the climb. Upon reaching the top however it was all worth it to see the glorious cityscape and harbour. I would most definitely do it again but on a clearer day so I could see more of the city from the top of the bridge.
