Report from the NT News documenting the increasing numbers climbing Ayers Rock. When we climbed in July significant numbers were climbing. Our Last Logbook recorded over 2400 names over 30 days from 33 countries. Not everyone would have signed, and the climb was not fully open most days. Remember the summer season is not a great time to climb with the route closed for most of the time due to hot weather. If you want to climb before the ban, suggest trying in winter or late Autumn, or early Spring.
Our mountains belong to all of us. The Right to Climb them and bask in their views that inspire awe and wonder is as old as the human genome. This long-established cultural tradition is under threat by a small group of bureaucrats determined to impose their way on the rest of the world. It is right to Climb because we have the Right to climb. If you don’t exercise your rights you lose them. Don't let petty nanny state bureaucrats take them away.
