City Climb opens to the public on Tuesday, November 9, and tickets are already on sale. At $185 per person, it's a splurge to be certain!

Aside from heart-pounding excitement, what exactly does that price of admission get you? Climbers—who must be ages 13+ and fit certain height and weight requirements detailed here—undergo a safety briefing before being fitted with specially designed harnesses and led out onto the climbing course—the highest external building climb in the world.

Harnesses are fastened into a trolley system that moves with the climber through the entirety of the experience, first climbing 32 steps to The Cliff for a view 1,190 feet above street level, and then traversing a steep, 45-degree incline of 161 steps to reach The Apex, 1,271 feet above the street below.

Edge's new City Climb features a custom-made trolley to ensure thrill-seekers are properly strapped in before encountering the open-air climb. 

Here, climbers encounter the ultimate dare: a chance to lean out over the platform to take in the sights below.

Once they've conquered City Climb, visitors are treated to an outing at Edge, whose glass-bottomed triangle platform is unlikely to phase them! Act fast to snatch up "inaugural tickets," which come with some extra perks like commemorative medals, videos, and photos.

If you've got a daring teen who'd like to tackle the challenge, be forewarned: Mom or dad will have to climb, too. All other family members or cheerleaders can watch from the Edge—for a price, of course.
