Abseil Climb - Story Bridge Adventure Climb

Description

Story Bridge Adventure Abseil
Take things to the next level with our Abseil Climb! Based at Kangaroo Point, Story Bridge Adventure climb is one of only three such experiences in the world and with our Abseil Climb it is the only experience of its kind in the world, no other bridge climb can offer you this opportunity. From base headquarters at Kangaroo Point after a 30 minute safety briefing and preparation you will make your way to the halfway house.

The climb 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 high point of the climb. From the 80 metre summit of the Story Bridge you can enjoy uninterrupted 360° views of Brisbane, its river and surrounding mountains. The picturesque Glasshouse Mountains are visible to the north with the world-heritage-listed Lamington National Park to the south. To the east enjoy views across Moreton Bay to some of the world’s largest sand islands, and to the west find Mt Coot-tha and the lush Brisbane Forest Park.

Then from the summit you will make your way down the western anchor arm to just below road level for the Abseil preparation and then Abseil down the Anchor Pier into Captain Burke Park - about 30 metres below! All instruction is included and you do not need any prior abseiling experience at all to partake in this adventure! When you arrive exhilarated and safe at the street level, one of our safety staff will escort you back to base.
