RE: ULURU-Ayers Rock. Would you climb a Natural Wonder of the World?

in #travel7 years ago

I climbed it in about '93 on a family holiday. The amount of rubbish up top was very disappointing. I hope they've removed the chain that assists in the steepish early part of the climb, as well as the thing on the top which held a visitor's book and direction marker (from memory)

Knowing what I've learned since, I would not climb it again, and am glad that changes have been made to prevent climbing. That so many reportedly still climb it shows that better education needs to be done about the rock and what it means to the local people.

Sort:  

Apparently there are plenty of signs in a few languages saying not to climb and the chain is still there to assist people from killing themselves. It is disgusting that people shit on our rock
