WHAT????!!!!! That's what was so cool about it. You could totally climb it and be in danger and everything. There were no stupid bars stopping you from falling to certain death--it was perfect. That's really disturbing. I'm sad.

Is that for safety or cultural reasons?

It pisses me off when you go to Uluru, even with all the signs saying that the traditional owners of the rock would prefer people respected their laws and customs and didn't climb it - there are still thousands of dickhead tourists (Seppos, probably) crawling all over it.

I assumed you meant blood letting, but I figured I better check. Wouldn't you know it, blodd letting is the real deal:
blodd letting
The letting of bodily gases from the anal region.
Blodd letting was a common practice to give sacrifice and thanks to the bean God Pharticulous, dating back to the 1700's when blood letting became a crime and punishable by locking the law breaker in a sealed box with a bamboo tube that everyone in the city blodds into until the criminal bleeds to death from his eyes.
