A few years ago i was working for Bridgeclimb on the SHB and my first job of the morning (after coffee
) was to go around and unlock the Bridgeclimb route.
I used to find remnants of the previous nights escapades and one morning spent some time trying to
find a nude guy who was trying to sneak up.he had his dacks on when i saw him but apparently
celebrated his ascent by nuding up completely. (very appropriate I think!!) The police got him later.
The only other time i saw anybody was a young girl waiting to jump and a dead guy who had.
In our workshop we had a shopping trolley that had been left on the top,it had been left there full of
empty beer bottles.Quite an effort as they would have had to carry it over the spikes(crown of thorns)
and barbed wire.
Our best effort other than sneaking mates and girlfriends( Hi Inga i have the keys to the Bridge what
can you bring to the table?) up was a french aerial troupe who were completely pissed. They had
given us free tickets to their show and we were paying them back.
I reckon those days are gone now as they have cameras everywhere but as far as i am aware they
protect the route on the south side. You might be able to come up on the north side as it pretty well
untouched by Bridgeclimbitis.
