The main reason why people should not climb Uluru is that it is now recognised that it is disrespectful to the indigenous people of Australia. While it is a spectacular thing to stand atop Uluru and gaze out over the featureless plains, the Anangu people of Central Australia request, respectfully, that you do not climb Uluru. The landform is of spiritual significance to them. Even among their own people, only the aboriginal elders are permitted to climb the rock, and even then, only for certain ceremonies.
On a more practical note, many tourists are not fit enough to make the entire climb. The surface can be slippery in places, and the first part of the climb is very steep, and will test even fit young people.
