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

in #travel7 years ago

Very good points, all. Problem is, climbers want to climb things. I'm one and I understand the drive. However, this needs to be done appropriately, with respect and proper preparation. Otherwise if it is more of a destructive experience, then fine... stay at the bottom and take pictures or go home.

Sort:  

it is not a rock climbing cliff and is more of a walk up the rock, i also did rock climbing in my youth and we have plenty of awesome places for that -the rock is a sacred site and it is disrespectful to Aboriginal culture to climb, apparently that means little to many people.

Ok, I am getting a better understanding of the whole picture. That makes sense. Respect is paramount.

good on you - am pleased you understand the issue
