Uluru has a great importance to the Aboriginal people of the area. They used it for all parts of daily life, and consider it disrespectful to climb it. However, there is sometimes a climb open to tourists. While none of the EC students took advantage of it out of respect, there were some [tourists that were not EC students] that did. This is a picture of them climbing up the side of the rock.

editor's note: The Anangu people of the region make jokes about the climbers. They say they look like 'little black ants' climbing an ant hill. --cj
