3 Climbers Are Stuck On Uluru After Doing That Thing Everyone Said Not To

First and foremost: let me make it absolutely clear that we in no way wish harm on these young men and hope they are rescued both safely and promptly – but, at the same time, what were these dickheads thinking?

Three men, all apparently aged, 22 are currently awaiting rescue by the Northern Territory Police, Fire and Emergency Services after getting stuck up at the top of Uluru, and they are getting mocked to hell for doing so very much against the wishes of the traditional owners of the land.

Uluru update: @ntpfes confirm 3 males aged 22 are still stuck on #Uluru. NTES Vertical rescue teams have just arrived in Yulara.

Despite ongoing objections, tourists have been super insistent on not giving up their right to desecrate a sacred location. Clearly not satisfied with viewing one of Australia‘s most breathtaking landmarks from eye-level, dumbasses from all over have put their personal sense of accomplishment ahead of the significance it holds to Indigenous Australians.

Twitter has not taken super kindly to the climbers’ decision:

how are people still allowed to climb uluru tho when people have asked/told us not to for years

Hopefully these lads get back down safely and hopefully maybe they learn their lesson for next time.
