• What can you take onto the climb? 
  Personal items will not be permitted to be taken on the climb including, cameras, videos, pagers, mobile phones and handbags. We will provide each climber with a secure locker in which any personal items can be stored.
• Am I required to wear a climb suit?
  All climbers are required to wear a climb suit, which will be provided once checked in and is worn over your existing clothing. Climbs suits are part of our standard safety equipment.  Suits are worn to blend in with the colouring of the bridge and therefore not distract drivers when crossing the bridge.
• Will your guides have first aid training?
  All of our climb leaders are experienced and fully trained in first aid and safety requirements for the climb.
• What will happen if I am late for my climb?
  As climbs must run on scheduled time, climbs will not be held for late arrivals.  A late arrival will lead to forfeiting your ticket.
• Is the climb safe? 
  The climb is completely safe and secure. Each climber wears a belt harness which is attached via a lanyard to the bridge safety cable for the entire duration of the climb route.  
• What weather conditions can I expect in Brisbane?
  One of the greatest reasons for Brisbane being a much-loved city is due to its sensational weather.  Winter is a superb season in our city with vast blue skies often accompanied by a dry, cool breeze. Summer is sultry with a possibility of late afternoon storms. 
• What happens with the climb when it rains? 
  Story Bridge Adventure Climb is open for operation during most weather conditions.  If it rains, normally only during the tropical summer months, we will provide climbers with an all weather jacket, however we suggest you bring a spare pair of shoes and socks.
• Should I wear sunscreen?
  Yes, all climbers must ensure they protect themselves from UV rays in all areas not covered by climb suits (ie face, hands etc).  We provide climbers with sunscreen and hats.

Heath and Fitness 

• Will I need to have climbing experience? 
  No, you need not have experience. It’s a fact that some participants have climbed the bridge in order to overcome a perceived fear of heights, doing so in a secure environment.
• I'm pregnant, can I still climb?
  Ladies who are pregnant can be up to 20 weeks / 4 months and still be able to climb.  Please note, you do climb at your own risk and are required to wear a safety harness throughout the duration of the climb.

  We've taken every precaution in our safety procedures to ensure that our adventure climb experience is a safe experience. For the entire duration of the climb, all climbers are attached to a static line with all climb leaders being trained to support and encourage those who are a little anxious while climbing.   If you have a fear of heights, please advise climb leaders prior to start of climb.
