Join now Closed for winter Subscribe for updates Climb the famous masts of Cutty Sark and experience a unique London adventure. For the first time since the ship's arrival in Greenwich in 1954, visitors can climb the rigging of Cutty Sark and get a taste of what it would have been like to sail the historic ship. We’re partnering with urban adventure company Wire & Sky to bring this amazing experience to Greenwich. Visit the ship, climb the rigging and enjoy a view of the Thames like no other. The Rig Climb is now closed for the winter, but don't worry! Sailors and thrill seekers will be able to climb again as soon as the seasons change. See what else is happening on board Cutty Sark. What visitors are saying "The views are amazing. Great for those who like climbing walls, high ropes and zipwires." "Well worth it for anyone from a fan of tall ships, naval history or just your average adrenalin junkie. Highly recommended." "Experience of a lifetime, don’t miss it!" See more Rig Climb reviews on TripAdvisor Image Going up Starting with a briefing underneath the ship’s beautiful hull, those brave enough to take on the challenge step up from the Main Deck on to the ship’s 'ratlines' (rope ladders). From here you can make your way up into the rigging, just as hundreds of sailors did during Cutty Sark’s long and fabled career at sea. When you reach the platform, take a breath and drink in the view while looking down on a true London icon. Then it's time for one final challenge: the Lower Topsail Yard! Grip the horizontal bar and hold on tight as your shuffle along the footrope. Be brave, look up and feel the rush of a life at sea. Image Going down A controlled descent will take you from the lofty heights of the rigging straight back down to the Main Deck. You can then join up with friends and family and continue your Cutty Sark adventure: your Rig Climb ticket includes free access to all areas of the ship. Explore the crew's cabins, come face to face with the world's largest Merchant Navy figurehead collection, take the helm and enjoy a cuppa in the café beneath the ship's gleaming hull.
