Should you climb Uluru?

Click on the link below to read some questions and answers about whether Uluru should be climbed.




For many years the advice to visitors has been that the Traditional Aboriginal Owner's of Uluru would prefer people not to climb because of Uluru's cultural significance.


The climbing path is about 1.6km long and can be dangerous. The first part has a chain to hold onto but it is a very difficult climb. 35 people have died climbing Uluru (many due to heart attacks). The climb takes about two hours to complete.
The Uluru climb is often closed due to strong winds and high temperatures.


Climbing Uluru is disrespectful.
