“#NYC’s Hudson Yards debuts world’s highest outdoor building climb<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s the\u00a0really<\/em>\u00a0high line.<\/p>\n

Starting Nov. 9, thrill seekers can walk almost to the tippy-top of the 1,296-foot-tall 30 Hudson Yards skyscraper in Midtown, but not from the comforts of an indoor observatory. <\/p>\n

This trek takes visitors along the outside of the building \u2014 with no windows or other protective barriers standing between them and sky-high views of the Big App<\/a>le. They will, however, be equipped with safety harnesses.<\/p>\n

Welcome to City Climb<\/a>, a high-altitude attraction that takes up to eight daredevils and their skyscraper sherpa to a dizzying 1,271-foot-high perch, called the \u201cApex,\u201d near the tower\u2019s crown. <\/p>\n

It begins at the building\u2019s 100-story-high Edge observatory and only gets higher from there, with guests taken along a dizzying series<\/a> of stairs and platforms that continually rise in altitude.<\/p>\n

All it takes is $185 for a ticket and a strong stomach.<\/p>\n

Visitors with lesser constitutions can stick to Edge \u2014 a viewing platform 1,131 feet\u00a0up that\u2019s safely ensconced by glass paneling where general<\/a> admission starts at $36 for adults. There, you can step out onto a portion of glass flooring for an added thrill.<\/p>\n

From that platform, trained guides take participants on the vertigo-inducing climb and ascend a series of steps to reach the aptly named \u201cApex.\u201d <\/p>\n

Along the way, they visit a perch named \u201cThe Cliff,\u201d where they can look down a full 1,190 feet to the street. <\/p>\n

The most intense portion comes during a 161-step climb up a 45-degree incline to the top. <\/p>\n

Once they reach the zenith, climbers can get an extra thrill by leaning off the Apex\u2019s open-air viewing platform \u2014 with nothing obstructing their panoramic views, which extend out to the Atlantic Ocean.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s \u201ca chance to live out a superhero fantasy at the top of NYC,\u201d Cassie Davison, vice president of marketing for Hudson Yards Experiences, told The Post.<\/p>\n

Before setting out, guests must complete a safety briefing. That, combined with the total 370-step ascent and descent, lasts up to two hours.<\/p>\n

Organizers say City Climb is also the highest external building climb in the world \u2014 but much to New York\u2019s chagrin, it isn\u2019t the first. <\/p>\n

In August 2011, downtown Toronto\u2019s CN Tower opened its EdgeWalk attraction, the first of its kind in North America. Similar to City Climb, EdgeWalk takes adrenaline-junkie visitors on a harnessed walk around the tower\u2019s main pod 1,168 feet above that city\u2019s own bustling streets.<\/p>\n

Beyond bragging rights, the admission price also includes entry to Edge \u2014 where they can settle down with Champagne at its bar \u2014 and souvenirs, such as a personalized video of each person\u2019s climb.<\/p>\n
