Wow, the climb was very hard but once your up there the views
are enormous. We nearly didn't take the climb as there are signs
at the base asking people to consider the aborigines beliefs
but so many were going up we thought why not us then. Glad we
did because you get a real feeling for how big the rock is from
way up top. We got our photos to prove we did it, woooo hoooo.
Just a word of warning, it's very hot so be careful.

The day we were going to climb we were not allowed as the temperature
was going to be too hot, which was really disappointing, but
the guided tour around the base was excellent so that made up
for it. Tour guides are great and seemed to go out of their
way to make up for the disappointment we were feeling.

We took the Uluru climb tour in May 2007 and thought it was
fabulous. There was an older man who had a bit of a heart attack
trying the climb so don't attempt it if your not fit. We took
some fabulous video at the top. This is something I always wanted
to do and was thrilled we could climb on the day. There is a
big sign that makes you feel guilty about climbing, but so many
climb it, so what the heck. If you climb you will get the best
feeling from way up top, it's like being on top of the world.
Take plenty of water with you though, you really need it.
