How hard is it to climb/hike up Uluru (Ayers Rock)

It's 1,142' of elevation gain packed into less than a mile. There are sections of near vertical walls that you'll have to climb up, but I'd still consider it to be non-technical since there's a chain you can hold on to.

Altitude shouldn't be much of an issue since the highest point in Australia is less than 7500'. But there are usually strong winds at the top and during the climb that can throw you off balance if you're not careful.

Remember to use the toilet before you head out. There are no washrooms there and it’s a little disrespectful to poop on it.

Also, you could always not. Because the indigenous people consider it sacred ground and would rather you didn’t.

Makes a better story than “climbed it just before it was finally banned”.

The OP and anyone else who climbs it also need to bring a piss bottle. Another reason the climb is being banned is because the urine coming down that rock is destroying the environment. A 3 hour hike might be too long to hold it in for some.

The summit of Uluru is considerably lower than that. I recall Uluru being around 2850', though I don't remember whether that was the base or the summit elevation.
