DESCRIPTION
The Skypoint Twilight climb sets you on a journey to the summit of the Q1 to marvel at the amazing view as the sun sets over the Gold Coast. This unique Gold Coast attraction involves a climb atop the world’s largest residential building – the Q1 – will allow participants to walk above the glass crown which frames the top of this architectural marvel and experience the **SkyPoint Climb**! The journey will reach a height of 270 metres above sea level as climbers enjoy the security of an internal handrail that guides climbers up to the massive spire, while the more daring may walk along the edge of the building and experience the thrill of a 270m sheer drop.
Close to 140 stairs will guide climbers up to the summit where they may take an extended pause to experience the stunning 360 degree views that stretch from the Gold Coast’s glowing golden beaches, to the city skyline, and out to the greenery of the lush Gold Coast Hinterland to the west.
