With respect to Uluru it's also worth mentioning that the Aboriginal people consider it to be sacred and don't particularly appreciate many of the tourists who elect to climb over it. From wikipedia

"The local Aṉangu do not climb Uluru because of its great spiritual significance. They request that visitors do not climb the rock, partly due to the path crossing a sacred traditional Dreamtime track, and also due to a sense of responsibility for the safety of visitors. The visitors guide says 'the climb is not prohibited, but we prefer that, as a guest on Aṉangu land, you will choose to respect our law and culture by not climbing'"
