I went there last year in April and my whole family climbed
the rock. Make sure you climb it on the first available day you are there, as they close the climb with any little excuse - eg too windy, too wet. When we were there it was open for 2 out of 5 days.
The hardest part is making it to the start of the chain. If you can do that, then the rest is not too hard.
The valley of the winds walk through the Olgas is also magnificent, and probably more spectacular than the Ayers
Rock climb.

I agree, the Valley of the Winds walk is spectacular!!! We didn't climb
the Rock when we were there, mainly because there were a million people all doing it. Whereas the Valley of the Winds walk was relatively quiet - its about 8 kms from memory and the
views and walk are truly amazing.
