I climbed in December, 1989 when I was a young and naive 18 year old kid just out of high school. I laugh when I read the warning sign posted before Cameron begins his ascent because I was so poorly prepared. I had no water with me, no hat or sunscreen. I remember it an overcast day so the sun wasn't too bad, but, it was hot. I began the climb and finally got to the chain. When I made it to the third or fourth section of chain I looked down and was paralyzed at how high up it seemed and how steep the drop was. I almost turned back but I thought, there is no way I am not going to try to keep going having traveled 10,000 miles from my home outside of Chicago, Illinois. I guess I let go of my fears and kept going. At some point the ground levels out for a few feet and you begin an even steeper climb, but, by then I was used to it. Just stop when you get tired and start back up once you have your energy back. I remember the chain finally ended and what look like tiny ridges from the ground are little crevice like dips that are deeper than a 6ft grown man is tall. I don't remember how long it took to reach the summit, but, it probably took a good hour or more. I signed the logbook, admired the views for a while, then began my descent. By the time I reached the ground I was worn out, thirsty, and probably more dehydrated than is healthy for anybody of any age and at 54 years old and still pretty good health, I still wouldn't risk it by trying it again. Going up was way scarier than coming down, but this is a deceptive bugger of a climb. It looks easy from afar and by the time you realize how steep and strenuous a climb it is, it is nearly too late to turn back, especially if it is a crowded day. I'd wanted to climb Ayres Rock, which I'd come to know as Uluru that morning when we pulled up to the park, since I first saw a picture of it when I was about six years old. I have very fond memories of that day. And while I respect the indigenous peoples' desired to keep it as a place for respect I find it disappointing that they can't come to some type of agreement to let people climb and experience this unique place.
Great video Having had to turn back half way through the climb myself its great to see what i missed out on Not for the faint hearted thats for sure and also the unfit

I climbed it in 1988 and Jan 2019, it's a shame they don't allow it to be climbed anymore. However if you're adventurous you could easily climb it at dusk
Apparently there's a $10,000 fine for it now though, depends if you can afford it lol I climbed it it 1996, so glad for the memory and experience of it!
@@Roger__Wilco Definitely a wonderful experience, every other country would have it open to climb 24/7 with shops etc at the bottom. They don't even have a bubbler at the bottom. It's the same rock as the Olgas n Kings Canyon but everyone walks over those rocks=crazy
The government thinks they own everything and everyone, but should have no power to ban ppl from stepping foot onto a simple rock formation. Aboriginal ppl had no problem with ppl climbing the rock, and actually enjoyed showing ppl around whilst employing local aboriginal ppl. Aboriginal ppl say themselves nobody owns the land. This is nothing but a rhetoric planned by the United Nations to degenerate white ppl on so called stolen land. Its happening all over the U.S Canada and even in England were white ppl are indigenous to that land. It’s all a political hatred campaign. All what’s happening today has been planned since the early 1900s. Seems crazy but true
I'm happy about the ban. Apparently, tourists left their trash up the rock, relieved themselves ( couldn't the do that BEFORE climbing?!), played golf and what not up there. Disgusting. But it's a sign of the time and if people can't behave themselves, their freedom gets restricted. That's a logical consequence.
When I was there in the 90s I was actually surprised by the amount of aboriginals getting drunk and leaving trash everywhere and treating it like a toilet, if only they just played golf!
Absolutely not true. You are being indoctrinated by an agenda 🇺🇳. No body has the right to close off public land especially one of the the biggest tourist destinations. The yes vote would give a treaty meaning Australia loses all rights to all land. We would then have to lease it back costing trillions of dollars. Money laundering back to government and destroying a country 🇺🇳🇺🇳🇺🇳🇺🇳🇺🇳🇺🇳💪 aboriginal ppl are the first ppl to say no one has ownership of land. The aboriginal council is all corrupt ful of white men 🇺🇳wanting more power to destroy wealth prosperity, farming and causes nothing but chaos and purposeful division 🇺🇳🇺🇳🇺🇳to create a one world government
Can't believe they don't have a double chain. For people going up and for people going down. I mean really how tight is that. Also the chain should be more tight .to bad if u have a bad back. One chain as well I mean how pathetic. Don't brake the balance and the chain don't even go all the way up. What are they trying to see how many people fall or something
If they just would have removed the chain things would have gotten much quieter...same thing goes for nepal with fixed ropes and sherpa services...If you wanna climb do it on your own power. No oxygen no nothing.
Uch. Better watch this video on an empty stomach. You get motion sickness watching this, plus the guy obviously likes quick movements when doing a panorama view. He never stops to rehydrate, either, and he walks up there with unsuitable shoes. A good example why it's better to close the rock for good!
i’m so happy they are putting the ban!! climbing the rock is disrespecting the aboriginal sacred land where they left the elder to rest. how would you feel if hundeds of thousands of people walked on your or your family members grave. i think you should think about your decision to climb because it it so disrespectful to see so many people doing the climb know that there’s a ban.
You are allowed to climb it until the ban is in place so maybe you just respect the aboriginal people by not climbing it yourself and respecting the rights of people who do want to climb
@@ch33psk8 I don't think it is about "owning" it Indigenous Australians have said that it is disrespectful to climb because of its spiritual significance. No different from going to any other religious site at which you have to observe certain practices. I agree I am glad it is now banned
@@dave690 who decides what's more or less sacred ? and who "allowed" the custodians to ban it. Blacks themselves used to do guided tours for the minga - ants (whitefella) for grog and ciggies. Were there previous civilisations in this area before the blacks that had other needs for sharing or not sharing ? Will it matter after the next mass extinction event ? Same-o Same-o, Aborigines are not immune to virtue signalling we're all human.

no because Uluru belongs to Anangus
@@pierrotop6313 belongs to Australians
no belongs to anangus they was here before australians@@cjm4709
@@pierrotop6313No one can own a rock.
to the Anangus @@kartoffelbrey9817
We climbed the great rock in the late 80's with such fond memories. And what a shame to see such an Aussie icon, removed by so few.
Awesome!!!
what happen to the tree and the spring? Heard about the pollution of the spring. I have pics of the tree and spring with shrimp . Magic place all right.
Nice if there was a lift and escalators. Kiddies play area and toilets up on top. A chain, what were they thinking?
Thanks for sharing
There was a book you could sign but they stop it
Look like " Mars landscape " on Uluru.

It's a much harder climb than I expected. No chains would have reduced the climb by 90%.

It wasn't easy holding my phone in hand the entire way up (863m elevation) so you could see what it was like 😅 you're welcome..

Who "owns" the Sun or the moon ?
How far under or above Uluru is the boundary of possession ?
Went there in the early 70's, local aboriginals said it was ok to climb. What changed there minds ?
