Stood atop Ayer's rock (Ularu to the Native owners) back last century before we realized it was kind of a d!ck thing to be doing.
Whole lot of nuthin' in any direction from there.
You can 'Feel' the immensity of empty space around you. Puts you in a mind of knowing the fragility of being 'Human' when you're a speck atop the bones of the world.

I doubt you'd be able to get to the top of it now. I understand that the indigenous people have shown lots of clout in stopping the visits.

Been to the top of the Empire State Building, but that was when I was a kid.Heights can bother me also. I've been high in several NYC skyscrapers....and always was happy when back on Earth.

11K is way up there. Good on you.
I passed in the valley in Queensland past Mt Coonowrin. I was in the valley looking up, it was fucking massive. It made me dizzy looking up at it.
This video doesn't do it justice.
