Uluru has a considerable spiritual meaning for aboriginals. At the foot there is a huge banner asking people not to climb the holy mountain because ancient traditions and beliefs don't permit it. But it doesn't actually stops people who even in really hot weather try to make a dangerous climb. To minimize the number of accidents here was placed a handrail.
