He would have said "beam me up Scotty!"Well done. Now would Captain Kirk have climbed the rock? Would he boldly go or respect the locals' wishes?

So who "owns" the Pennine Way?I suppose the fact that the aborigines have lived there for 50,000 years, and that it's their land and their rock, didn't enter your head. They own the fucking thing.
Remind me to bring my climbing boots and crampons next time i go past your house. I hear the view is lovely up on the roof and if I fancy a dump whilst I am at it, no problem. Sure you'd respect my right to take a dump.
It’s not a patch on Scafell pike.

Or Cheddar Gorge?
The Ayre's rock resort is around 2 Miles from the actual rock itself, well it was in 1993?Nearby resort??? It is 2 days non stop drive to the nearest beach ha ha
It'll open up again once the tourism money stops coming in and the local communities suffer. Ivan Milat just died too so it's a bit safer for backpackers to travel round the outback.
Sorry, I’m a radical on this one and my world view never impinges on anyone else or how they can live their lives. Same can’t be said for religion. And this thread is an extension of it.
Chippy says they’ve been there 50,000 years but they haven’t, they, the people there now, have been around for as long as any of us have been around in this life time. No one can lay claim to the earth or demand they’re special because their ancestors were there or we’d all lay claim to the East African Rift Valley.
Do I have the right to climb your house? No, because you own it.What about the ‘human rights’ of someone wanting to climb it?? Why are their rights not looked on as favourably as the aboriginal?
