Uluru
Ayers Rock

Climbing Uluru at 7.30am. It's steeper than it looks!

Climbing The Big Red One is usually possible - not in high winds or rain - though not encouraged by the Anangu as the path is the route taken by their ancestors on spiritual journeys and known by them as the Mala Dreaming track.
At 1.6kms [1mile] a climb will take about an hour - with the help of a chain - and require good soft shoes and lots of water. The middle of the day should be avoided and, in fact, climbing after 8 a.m. is usually forbidden in the hot season.

The Anangu, however, are fine with tourists walking the 10 km track around Uluru. See the following pictures.
