City Climb is an experience in New York City where visitors can climb the crown of 30 Hudson Yards — a skyscraper more than 1,200 feet above the ground — and then lean out over the edge.
So we decided to try it to see how intense it REALLY is.
Ajani's thoughts before the climb: "In the weeks leading up to it, I was not afraid at all, just excited. I'm not usually afraid of heights, so I was just looking forward to the rush. But the day of, once we arrived there, then I started getting nervous."
Terry's thought's before the climb: "I was literally shaking in my Chelsea boots days before the climb. Although I was the one who initially suggested doing the climb, somehow, I was more nervous than Ajani was to do it. Thankfully, that all went away when I arrived at Hudson Yards. Suddenly, I was super calm about the whole thing. At that point, there was no turning back."
The entrance to City Climb is located on the fourth floor of the Shops at Hudson Yards.
After we checked in, an instructor weighed us and measured our heights to make sure we met the requirements.
Then came the inevitable legal waiver you have to sign when you do stuff like climb over a thousand feet in the air.
And a Breathalyzer test we had to pass. (So, unfortunately, you cannot take any shots to ease your nerves before scaling this building!)
