Climb Uluru Ayers Rock

Many people who visit Uluru like to climb the rock just for the adventure of being at the top of this huge monolith and to take photos to record their journey into Australia's Red Centre. The Aboriginal owners, the Anangu people, prefer that tourists do not climb the rock as the climbing track crosses an important dreamtime track, but it is not against the law.

Before making a decision to climb Uluru you need to know the facts and weigh up the arguments yourself. It is not an easy climb and should only be attempted by very fit people anyway, but please consider the rights and feelings of the Aboriginal Anangu people before deciding to climb.

This Climb Ayers Rock Tour picks you up at your accommodation at the Ayers Rock Resort, Yalara, and shuttles you to the sunrise viewing area where you will have a sumptuous breakfast. You may then climb Ayers Rock or if you change your mind about the climb, you may join an alternative guided tour around the base, offering culturally rich experiences.

There are also many resons why Uluru may be closed from climbing on the day due to high forecats winds, rain, high temperatures, chances of lightning or other safety reasons. Thirty five people have died on Ayers Rock over the years, due mainly to heart failure, so please be aware, not only of the cultural reasons, of the safety reasons behind the argument of not climbing Uluru.
