Views remain mixed as Uluru climb closure approaches | Sky News AustraliaAs the Uluru climb’s Oct. 26 closure approaches, people are flooding to Alice Springs hoping for one last chance to climb the rock. \n\nWhile many are eager to climb, others are ambivalent or opposed to the idea. \n\nCentral Land Council CEO Joe Martin-Jard told Sky News cultural and spiritual concerns are not the only reason the climb needs to close. \n\n“It’s also for safety reasons,” Mr Martin-Hard said. “They’ve had to take down bodies off the rock, people have fallen off the rock. It really hurts them to see visitors being hurt”. \n\nHe added the owners of Uluru are “a bit disappointed” to see people going to the bathroom while climbing on the rock. \n\nMeanwhile, Alice Springs resident David Hewitt said in his ten years working in communities surrounding Uluru in the 1960s and 1970s, Indigenous people “never expressed any concern about climbing the rock”. \n\nImage: Getty Closing it down does a great disservice for our country and its economy!
