"Fun" climbing back down Uluru.
From our Red Centre trip early this month.
Although discouraged, tourists can still climb Uluru (Ayers Rock). [We did not.]

There is a safety chain as such, but it does not start from the base of the rock.
The installer's theory being if you can't make it up this far by yourself, you don't deserve to climb.
The section from the base to the start of the chain is dubbed "Chicken Rock".

Here a couple of fun loving climbers are having "fun" surveying the daunting drop from the end of the chain to the desert floor below.
Seems it is always easier to climb up than down for most people.
