You can walk the wall and climb to the top of a skyscraper in Manhattan: what is City Climb

Are you the kind of person who lives on the edge and loves adrenaline? If yes, then you have the opportunity to tickle your nerves in New York. Hudson Yards is already a popular place, but with the advent of City Climb, it has become even more interesting, writes Secret NYC.

City Climb is the world’s highest outdoor climb to a building. Yes, yes, you read it right: you will climb to the top of a skyscraper from the outside by walking along its wall. Real urban climbing.

Climbers climb the outside of the Hudson Yards skyscraper to a height of more than 365 meters above the ground. And then they can look at the city from the highest open observation deck in New York. It even sounds exciting!

What is City Climb

Equipment

You will meet your guide, pack your things and put on a special “urban climber” outfit.

Safety first

Then you will go to the base camp, put on the belts and fasten yourself to the “rail”. The rail is your new climbing best friend and will hold you tight throughout your climb. At this point, the group will receive final instructions and be ready for the ascent.

Forward to the top

Although you are climbing with a group, climbing a skyscraper is a very individual experience. You will quickly forget about the group and enjoy the views of New York, as well as be proud of your bravery.

Don’t Forget Moral Support

If you want to take a friend with you who doesn’t like adrenaline so much, they can purchase a regular ticket to Edge to meet and congratulate you after such a feat. Order champagne, because you will definitely need it.

You can book an ascent to the skyscraper online (cost – $185). You must be at least 18 years of age.
