To climb or not to climb, this is not the question.

Sacred Area Black and White

Would you visit the Vatican in a skimpy outfit?
Would you enter a mosque with your hiking boots?
Would you march into a Buddhist temple in shorts?

You certainly wouldn’t, would you? So why would you climb Uluru?

Uluru holds deep spiritual significance to the Anangu people and they prefer you – and ask you – not to climb Ayers Rock. It is a sacred path that is only taken by few Anangu men on special occasions.

The tourism industry encourages the climbing though: ‘sunrise, climb, sunset’… sign up for the Ayers Rock package and follow the tour leader!

Please don’t consider the rock as a trophy, a “been there done that’’, a photo op on the top of it…

We walk around it and it was a real mystical experience. No need to climb it, really!
