    Great lead: really enjoyed the positive attitude, the thorough explanations and patience as well as highlighting all the sights around the city we were seeing. The views were amazing, especially as dusk settled, and being able to look straight down from that high was thrilling.

    Getting started

    Meet your certified climb guides at the base of 30 Hudson Yards, where you’ll be fitted with safety gear and thoroughly briefed on the climb. Once harnessed, you’ll step out onto the open-air platform, already over 1,100 feet above Manhattan, to begin your ascent.

    What to expect

    City Climb: The world’s highest open-air building ascent

    City Climb takes you along the exterior of 30 Hudson Yards, leading you up a 45-degree staircase that rises to a breathtaking 1,200-foot vantage point. With every step, you’ll feel the thrill build as New York City stretches beneath you. At the top, experience the legendary lean-out, where you're secured to a harness and can tilt out over the city, earning bragging rights as the highest-standing person outdoors in NYC.

    Features:

    • Open-air skyscraper ascent: Climb the exterior of 30 Hudson Yards on a guided, fully harnessed route, reaching heights few visitors ever experience.

    • Highest lean-out in the world: Lean over NYC from 1,200 feet above the streets, an adrenaline-pumping moment that offers unmatched bragging rights and breathtaking views.
