Thursday, 02 Oct, 2008 0

SYDNEY – To celebrate the 10th anniversary of BridgeClimb Sydney, 137 climbers yesterday each carried a flag onto the arch of Sydney Harbour Bridge to represent every part of the world that climbers have hailed from since BridgeClimb opened.

From Peru to Eritrea, BridgeClimb has safely guided more than 2.2 million climbers from 137 different countries and territories to the summit of Australia’s icon since opening on October 1, 1998.

BridgeClimb’s founder and chairman, Paul Cave, said, “It’s been very rewarding to witness the business evolve over the past 10 years. It is so wonderful to be living my passion and my dream.”

Nicola Futeran, a 10-year-old from Bondi, carried the Australian flag to the top of the bridge yesterday alongside 136 other flag bearers.

The celebration has been recognised by Guinness World Records as a new world record for ‘Most flags flown on a bridge’.
