Before it's closed, your chance to walk on the side of logic and reason!

A week of celebrations 14 - 20 July 2019.
50 years ago on the 20 July 1969 Neil Armstrong climbed down from the Apollo Lunar Module Eagle and took the first steps on the moon. On the same date, in 1873, in the remote Australian Outback explorer William Gosse and his cameleer, Kamran made the first recorded climb to the summit of the rock he named Ayers. While it's certain the locals climbed before him, Gosse's efforts in discovering the Rock and describing the region for the rest of the world represent a significant scientific achievement that is worth celebrating. Exploration of the solar system continues this worthy tradition of scientific discovery.
To participate in this year's event, simply climb the Rock during Climb for Science Week and post a photo of yourself on social media at the summit cairn in your Climb for Science gear and send us the link. The first to post a photo at the summit cairn with a Vulcan salute will win a signed copy of "A Guide to Climbing Ayers Rock".
Celebrating the 146th anniversaries of the assent of Ayers Rock by William Gosse and cameleer Kamran.
Climb for Science will honour scientific exploration and research in central Australia with a celebratory climb up Ayers Rock.
The climb will be closed due to ignorance and petty bureaucracy on October 26 2019.
