i havnt climbed it but my parents have. i come from adelaide so its quite close in some circumstances. it is allowed but the aboriginal people there dislike it because it very sacred to them. its quite a hike to the top and you need some experience and to be fit. when at the top there isnt much to see because it is surrounded by desert wasteland. it is the achievement of getting to the top rather than the view but it could be quite spectacular at sumset.

I haven't climbed it, but I know people who have. Here is what Wikipedia says: Climbing Uluru Climbers and warning signThe local Anangu do not climb Uluru because of its great spiritual significance. They request that visitors not climb the rock, partly due to the path crossing a sacred traditional dreaming track, and also a sense of responsibility for the safety of visitors to their land. The Anangu have a spiritual connection to Uluru, and feel great sadness when a person dies or is injured whilst climbing. In 1983, then Prime Minister of Australia Bob Hawke promised to forbid climbing, but access to climb Uluru was made a condition before title was officially given back to the traditional owners. Climbing Uluru is a popular attraction for visitors. A chain handhold added in 1964 and extended in 1976 makes the hour long climb easier, but it is still a long (800 metres) and steep hike to the top, where it can be quite windy. An above average level of fitness, and a high tolerance to the extreme hot desert conditions is required. Over the years there have been at least forty deaths[citation needed], mainly due to heart failure whilst climbing Uluru, as well as non-fatal heart attacks and other injuries. From the top, you can just see Kata Tjuta (mt Olga).

I never climbed it because I heard it was a sacred site for the local aborigines, and to climb all over it was just blatant trampling of another people's culture. And afterward they'll try to sell you things like T-shirts proclaiming, "I puked on Ayer's rock!" and other crass tourist crap!
