ULURU
The big debate of the week - should we climb the rock or not. And what are the alternatives?

Read and comment on the original article: Should we climb Uluru?

I went with a party of 25. Before we arrived the guide asked how many people wanted to climb Uluru and around half put up their hands. After being informed by the guide and a local aboriginal of the wishes of the Aboriginal people only two people went up. Dont climb it. Bad Juju - Dean, Liverpool

How would you feel if tourists that held different beliefs to you climbed up St. Paul's Cathedral and then abseiled down it? Heck, it's only a building. Right? - Tina Jones, Dusseldorf, Germany

I tried to climb but gave up halfway through a mixture of guilt and fear (this is a dangerous climb). On returning to the base the main rush of tourists had disappeared and I did the base walk on my own which was peaceful Go to Kings Canyon which has an authorised climb with the same views - Roger Pettitt, Wales

I climbed, and it was one of the most moving, breathtaking experiences ever. It's easily in my top three lifetime moments, quite possibly at the top. The view across the desert at dawn is indescribable. I am glad I got to see what Mala man saw, and I have every respect for Aboriginal culture - Lola C, Sydney, Australia

A really good alternative is to walk around the base of the rock. This takes a couple of hours and provides some wonderful rock formations, many of which have special significance to the Anangu people. Best done early morning when it's cool - Jon, Adelaide, Australia

I did not climb out of respect. instead I took a helicopter flight which was superb, I recommend this as I was able to take fantastic shots of The Olgas and Ayers rock. I watched the Sunrise over Uluru which was magical. A guided walk around the base was informative but quite costly - Jane Shanahan, Taunton, Somerset

It's only a big lump of inanimate rock - what's the big deal! - James, Bucharest
