We Don't Climb

While studying abroad, our class spent several days at Uluru and spoke with a few Aboriginal elders.

They explained to us how sacred climbing Uluru was to them and their culture. This is a sacred site, and I felt it was only respectful not to climb.

Climbing Uluru

I totally agree. We did the walk around the Rock, but never climbed as respect to the original owners of the land. The local people will not 'forbid' anyone climbing - but ask you to respect their culture and beliefs.
