I climbed Uluru in 2019 a few months before it being permanently banned. We spoke to indigenous people at the site, who told us its not upsetting them that we climb it, it upsets them when people climb and injure themselves or die from falling. They told us it was fine to climb but to promise to be careful. It was an incredible experience walking around the whole rock and then climbing to see the view from the top.

Uluru had people climbing it for decades for no purpose other than to say, "I climbed Uluru." When climbers had a call of nature they urinated and defecated on the Rock. When they slipped and fell or had heart attacks due to the unaccustomed climb the traditional owners felt responsible for the injury or death. Ultimately they closed it off. Visitors can walk right around the Rock if they are fit enough. That's a big challenge for most and they can take photos and learn about local traditions from the traditional owners.

But Everest is the highest mountain. It was held sacred by many people. Now it’s the same thing - people do it just to claim it. There’s harder mountains, taller mountains (meaning you don’t start halfway up like on Everest), and less sacred ones. Go climb K2! Can’t? Then Everest doesn’t impress me. If people could climb these without leaving waste, without major loss of life, and with it truly meaning something… okay. Without?

Far older than any human being. It was made by the natural geological forces and it doesn't belong to anyone. It belongs to the Earth.

Ayres Rock. A little known fact is that the tribes who live around the Rock, to whom it is sacred, didn't mind tourists walking up the Rock. It was outsiders, including outsider aborigines, who have now made it illegal. I saw it on a documentary, long ago and sadly don't remember the name.

Ayres Rock was the English given name, Uluru is the Aboriginal name. It was given back to their custody as the original land owners & in recent years banned climbing.

Visitors didn't help their argument by shitting on it & leaving trash etc. It's a shame.

Explore to your heart's content. 3) find the staircase that leads to the Cupola of the dome 4) climb those stairs (there's several hundred of them) 5) enjoy the view at the top; take as many pictures as you want; 6) buy a souvenir on your way out.

Who decided it to be a national park? What if that was someone or some tribe property? A person can claim a whole island as his own property after bought it from people who claimed that island first or from people who discovered the island first. Government just rob that from a tribe who discovered it first. And that tribe can claimed that rock just like people who discovered a whole new island. But what happened is they're just losing their sacred stone.

He never fails to say something stupid, even when he genuinely tries to say something reasonable.

This isn't technically true. Tourists were once allowed to climb freely on Uluru, up to the mid 90's. They only banned it because of all of the people that were falling off and dying. Can't be an expert on everything Niel! Lol look it up

The land is flat and you cannot see anything up there you cannot see from the ground. Secondly they feel terrible when someone dies or is injured climbing the rock.

I feel like you've totally missed the point. It's not about the ABORIGINALS of Australia wanting a ban (let's say it was safety concerns, and not inconsiderate, disrespectful westerners who littered and generally treated it like it was just a rock), but about why WE impose bans on doing things in our sacred spaces and then go abroad and behave like wankers in other people's sacred spaces. It's about double standards and a lack of regard for other cultures. We should hear "this place is sacred to us," and immediately treat it with utter respect, not climb it to take some sick selfies. I always thought "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" was a core tenet of Christian culture. Guess not.

People who make rules and cannot or will not enforce them only contribute more to the adage, "Rules are made to be broken."

fun fact: the australian government didn't prohibit climbing uluru for cultural reasons, it's because they had too many tourists with skinned butts from sliding down the rock

“Thirty seven people have died climbing Uluru since 1950, the last as recently as July 2018.” This was a major factor in the decision by the traditional owners/ local authorities to permanently close the Uluru climb in 2019. “The scarring from millions of pairs of feet ascending the 384 metre sandstone rock, however, could remain for hundreds of years.” My girlfriend and I live near Brisbane in Queensland, Australia.

​ As an Australian I don't want to even visit the rock but I vehemently resent, or at least sternly question, the right of a small group of people of stone age mentality claiming a mythical "ownership" of a geological feature . These people (tribesmen) were granted a vague custodianship and for decades were happy to charge a fee for the 'privilege of climbing. This provided employment , income and fair management . It was hugely effective and popular . People didn't climb it as mountaineers as access was restricted to safe paths with handrails etc. They mostly walked up to enjoy the view . Then an even smaller minority decided to insist that that end and the forgone benefits be replaced by welfare dependency. A ridiculous indulgence of a militant boogawoo quasi religious fantasy ! Those few remaining local tribes people lived a primitive existence for 60,000 YEARS yet generated nothing more than a bunch of dubious legends. They sat around looking at The Rock. They didn't build it (nor anything else) and specifically didn't believe in personal ownership of land. Our govt has succumbed to raising mythology above science and reality. The good professor has failed to research this topic ! His mispronounciation is a clear clue ! He then uses the rhetorical device of describing this valuable , established enterprise as "just for sport" . Ironically, 'Sport' in this country is hailed as paramount and regard for 'sacred' mythologies has rightly evaporated as quaint ignorance. Neil, an avowed atheist, has betrayed a leaning to favour talking shit for the sake of controversy ie: clicks/likes .😞 He has deliberately blurred the difference between man made structures and natural phenomena.
