Which is better, the classic Sydney Harbour Bridge climb, or the new Discovery climb?

Question

I know the advertised differences... but it seems like the Discovery bridge climb mostly takes place lower in the bridge, and has more obstructed views? Some say it's more adventurous... but is it?

Answer 1

I have only been on the classic climb. I got a free ticket. I'm not paying $170 - $230 to climb the Bridge. Both climbs end on top of the Bridge, they just take different routes to get there. The Discovery spends more time inside the Bridge structure rather than walking over the arch.

Answer 2

When I booked tickets to climb the bridge I looked at all the different climbs, to me it was just too expensive to do the discovery climb for what it is. I mean my intent was just to climb the bridge with some friends. You still get heaps of historical facts on the way up with the normal climb so it depends how in depth you want to go I guess. For other inforamtion you get a free pass to the tower you can go up too so that's another bit of info you can use to decide.
