Thanks Blaze, its really interesting to hear an aboriginal perspective on this strange ‘sport’ of ours.
I find it utterly depressing that so many tourists can ignore the wishes of the local people and climb a sacred place such as Uluru.
I do wonder if all the travel companies who avidly market a visit to Uluru take responsibility for minimsing the negative cultural impacts that their business brings?
I believe most climbers take a responsible approach to dealing with the ecological and cultural impacts of climbing once they have been informed.
Your message is really important for that reason.
cheers
