The climb is fun, and the views are beautiful. The downsides are there is the cheesy tourist speech and associated attempts at banter ("where''s everybody from? Who has travelled the furthest to be here today?") that comes with such activities, and also that everything takes sooooo long. There is lots and lots of standing and waiting around, so patience is required unless you get lucky and manage to somehow get a smaller group.

Fun times

Did the night climb. Emily was a great host. Very informative and witty, lots of laughs had. Was a perfect night for a bridge climb, little hot but can’t do anything about that. Views were great. It was overall a great experience. Would recommend.
