yip, I think it was banned in about 1988 due to the fact it was deemed unsafe to do so. You can still get up with special permission or bribes, but even if you do bribe most of the guards there is still the 'head guard' who would shoot as soon as seeing you.

Permission is mostly granted to those like the discovery channel who the cash.

It's patrolled 24 hours a day so you can't even sneak up there at night.

Well, oficially it isn't allowed, but you can climb it without permission. Just give the guarding policeman a pound and he'll let you climb it. I think it applies for the great pyramid too, but I'm not 100% sure...

I don't think people should climb it because it might damage the pyramid.

i'm scared of heights too but death doesn't sound scary. In fact, the fields of Iaru are a wonderful place.
