Uluru is a massive sandstone inselberg in the heart of Australia, rising 348 m above the surrounding plain, most of its bulk hidden underground. It is the most sacred site of the Aṉangu (Pitjantjatjara/Yankunytjatjara) people, its traditional owners, who have lived in the region for over 10,000 years and hold deep Tjukurpa (Dreamtime/ancestral law) connections to the rock. Climbing Uluru was permanently banned on 26 October 2019, ending a practice the Aṉangu had asked visitors to stop for decades, out of respect for the site's sacredness and because the climb route crossed a significant traditional path. Uluru today is visited primarily via the Uluru Base Walk and dedicated sunrise/sunset viewing areas rather than as a climbing objective.
