Sure to be a must do in the Capital at Halloween, the experience will take visitors from Base Camp across a tensile fabric walkway suspended 52m above ground level. An observation platform at the summit will enable climbers to take in spectacular 360o night views of the Capital before descending back to base. Immersive Halloween storytelling will enhance the thrills at different parts of the climb with scares and surprises along the way.
