I had no idea you van climb the o2 arena. It does look tense and I know I'd be pretty nervous doing that! I'm fine with heights but I still get a bit of that 'jelly' feeling. I always think its good to push ourselves out our comfort zones whenever we can as they produce the best experiences :)
That looks like a great adventure to do this kind of climbing and to try champagne at the end. This reminds me sitting on the edge of tv tower last year. Great adventure! Thank you for sharing ;)
What a nice view at the top of O2, of course you have to celebrate. We once did a zipline through the biggest canyon in Mexico. It turns out to be spectacular in the end.
I have all the details in my blog post: Children are allowed on the Up at The O2 climb provided they are over the age of 9, at least 1.2 meters tall, and accompanied. The details depend on the age of the children: Nine year olds must be accompanied by at least one adult per child. If the kids are between 10 and 12, you need 1 adult per 2 kids. If the children are between 13 to 17 years old, the ratio is 4 per adult. I hope you all get to do it! There were kids in the group behind.
Ah, I really want to do this! Good for you for giving this a go, especially as it's out of your comfort zone. That walk up did look pretty daunting... It's a long way too! I've lived around London for so long, but I've never got around to doing this. I like the view from the cable car right next to the O2.
Thank you! Yes it was definitely outside my comfort zone but so glad I did it. I did the cable car before and I do think the view from the O2 is better. I hope you get the chance to do it
I just kept doing things that were high up. I forced myself to keep gettting closer to the edge until it went away. I doubt that will work for everyone though haha
Great job! I took Mrs MetalMan up and over there 3 years ago when we saw Fleetwood Mac at the O2 and we were going to do it again last year, on a night time, when we went back to see Black Sabbath but it was booked solid for the evening we wanted BOO. Hmmm, what terrifies me well, not a big fan of cows (except on a plate surrounded by chips and mushrooms), although I am meeting a mate in the Lake District tomorrow, to climb Helvellyn going over Striding Edge and coming back vi Swirral Edge, now that will have my blood pumping, I can tell you that now. Cheers and well done, Alan
Two Traveling Texans - we were out hiking 2 years ago and surrounded by about 15 aggressive young cows. We could not move and had our backs to a 6 foot high barbed wire fence, so my £150 jacket came off and laid on the barbed wire, so we all went (very quickly) 'through' the fence to escape them. My coat was ripped to shreds and my distrust/like of cows started.
That is a really steep climb! But what a great view at the top. The thing that you are walking on doesn't look like it was completely solid. Was it bouncy?
Two Traveling Texans I’m doing it for epilepsy and hydrocephalus as I have both conditions so I thought it would be great to let some lesser known ones have money raise d for them

This was so outside my comfort zone, but I did it! What have you done that's terrified you?
Thats brave...well done
Thanks so much. It was scary at times, but so glad I did it.
@@TwoTravelingTexans A friend, wife and 2 kids climbed it on Saturday..."Was a blast! Everyone loved it!" he said
@@alanoneill3065 glad to hear that!
Great views from the Top! Can't beat London's skyline :) great vid!
Thank you! Yes the view was great and we had fun doing the climb

Exactly! I am fine with heights most times too, but never did any kind of climb like this.
That looks like a great adventure to do this kind of climbing and to try champagne at the end. This reminds me sitting on the edge of tv tower last year. Great adventure! Thank you for sharing ;)
Thanks. It was quite the adventure for me. Which TV tower did you go to?
Yeah that looks like great fun! Would love to do that, not sure how Aine would handle it though!
You guys should do it. If I can do it, I am sure Aine can too.
What a nice view at the top of O2, of course you have to celebrate. We once did a zipline through the biggest canyon in Mexico. It turns out to be spectacular in the end.
Thank you! Wow a zipline over the biggest canyon in Mexico sounds scary and amazing too
Wow amazing! I never knew they offered this. So brave of you to climb it. I will put it on my list when I travel to London the next time.
Awe thank you! It was definitely outside my comfort zone. I hope you get the chance to do the climb too
I've put it on my list ;)
Looks like a nice thing to do! Thanks for sharing;)
We really enjoyed it! It's something I will remember for a long time
wow what a cool experience! and the views are amazing!
Yes, it is something I will probably always remember
Good for you that you got out of your comfort zone and did it.
Thanks it was quite an accomplishment for me
can you rally enjoy the view when you're afraid of heights haha... awesome experience... the toast on top is awesome... thanks for sharing :)
The top there is flat and there is a railing so I felt much more relaxed. We did have a great time.
Good for you for doing something out of your comfort zone! I'm trying to do more of that too :) Great job!
Travel Pockets thank you! It took a lot to convince myself to do it, but I’m so glad I did!
This looks like a lot of fun! Do they have an age limit for doing this? I'd love to do it with my boys.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll go check our your blog post. Our boys are still a little young.
They will be old enough before you know it!
Woo! The first part looked really difficult! I would have never got up there! Well done!
Thank you! Yes the first part was really steep! Luckily it leveled off pretty quickly. If I can do it, I am sure you could too!
wow this looks awesome! How much fun was this?!!!
Thanks we had a great time
Great job doing things outside your comfort zone!
Thank you! It wasn't easy for me, but so glad I did it

haha quite a fright heading up right :D - but the reward of the view up there wow :D but yea i dont think i could look down haha even if im up there
Nick - If I can do it, I am sure you can too! I think the worst part was going down, but going backwards made that much easier.
haha yes so true!! :P - i mean im not scared being on top, but i get dizzy looking down haha
Yes I tried to avoid looking down as much as possible
That view from the top really is awesome. I used to be scared of heights but I was able to get over that fear :)
Thank you! That is great you were able to conquer your fear. How did you do it?
I just kept doing things that were high up. I forced myself to keep gettting closer to the edge until it went away. I doubt that will work for everyone though haha
I am going to try that, we will see how it goes
What an experience!! Subscribed :D
It was amazing. Thank you!
That looks high. I felt my legs went weak when I saw the downward view. But it must have been an experience. Not sure if I'd dare to try it 😂
Yes, it was a bit scary but with the harness system you know it is safe. If I can do it, I am confident you can too
It should be quite the experience :)

Thank you! Glad to hear you enjoyed it too. Hmm I am curious what made you not like cows?

Wow that is scary!
This looks cool
Yes, definitely cool. One of those experiences I don't think I will ever forget
Woww.. kudos to you. I dont think I would have done that
Awe thank you! It was not easy for me, but I am so glad I did it. If I can do it, I know you can too.
That is a really steep climb! But what a great view at the top. The thing that you are walking on doesn't look like it was completely solid. Was it bouncy?
It's made of the same material as the roof and yes it moves. They tell you not to bounce. Every so often you cross planks which are solid
If u think it was hard try climbing up the the drizzle with a cast round ur left arm!
Wow that is impressive!
It is funny, I live in London and I have never done this! are you guys still travelling around the UK?
You need to do the climb! I am actually based in Norwich.
Were from Dallas :) And nope.... not climbing that lol **new sub**
Hello fellow Texan! If I can climb it, I know you can too
I don’t like the hight inside but I am up for it especially when I’m going to be raising money for my charity’s well done guys
That is exciting! What charity? The thing that made me feel better was the safety harness and our guide was so encouraging!
Two Traveling Texans I’m doing it for epilepsy and hydrocephalus as I have both conditions so I thought it would be great to let some lesser known ones have money raise d for them
@@pennymunt112 excellent! good luck, I hope it all goes well
