Plans for Sydney Australia

Yes folks, I'm going to do it again.... climb the Sydney Harbor Bridge. (I'm praying for clear weather) Here is the ship's description of events:
Harbour Bridge & the Rocks
Duration
Approximately 5 hours
Description
Be guided today by a professional team who will take you on an exhilarating climb all the way to the top of the Harbour Bridge! Feel the thrill of making your way over the catwalk to the pylon and then setting out across the arch on your way to the summit. Before you lies a spectacular 360-degree view of one of the world's great harbors and cities. The climb leader will be equipped with the latest in digital photographic technology to ensure that every climber has that all-important picture of themselves and their team members at the summit of the Bridge. The climb takes three hours from the time of check in to return to base and will operate in all weather conditions with the exception of electrical storms. You will be given a bridge-suit to wear, but you are required to wear enclosed rubber soled shoes and comfortable clothing. Be prepared to be breath tested (climbers must be under .05% blood alcohol level) and sign a medical declaration to satisfy the Bridge Climb conditions. Lockers are provided as cameras, video recorders and other loose items are not permitted on the Bridge. After your climb, continue on foot to The Rocks historic district for a stroll through the area where the city's first settlers nailed together a small village. Classic terrace houses and sandstone cottages make up The Rocks, which is also famous for its numerous pubs. Step into one for a a glass of beer and a chat with the locals. You may leave the tour at The Rocks or return to the ship which is a short walk from the pub

Hate heights!

But did someone say "PUB"?

Saw the episode on American Chopper where they did the climb and Mikey panicked due to height. Amazing excursion Jeff.
