DESCRIPTION
Take advantage of the seemingly endless number of sunny days the Gold Coast is renowned for with this SkyPoint day climb – the region’s ultimate sightseeing experience. The Q1 Climb is a unique, thrilling and scenic, as participants follow a staircase and path above the glass crown that frames the top of this architectural marvel.
Skypoint Climb takes you to a height of 270 metres above sea level and provides climbers with unparalleled views of the stunning Gold Coast region. Connected to an internal handrail for safety, climbers are led to the peak of the tower by an experienced Climb Leader. Climbing the stairs to the massive spire, once atop if you’re daring, you can walk along the edge of the building to experience the thrill of a 270 metre drop by just looking down.
To accompany the beautiful setting, your Climb Leader will take the time to point out some of the region’s landmarks while also telling some of the region’s best kept secrets. You’ll never want to climb down from this incredible view, however, when the time does come to descend you’ll feel as though you’ve just experienced a whole new world as the views from the lush Gold Coast Hinterland to the city’s golden beaches and the rising skyline is something to revel in.
