I was asking a specific poster as to why I should respect the rock being sacred as he claims.

I have a pretty good idea why Aborigines think it is.

BTW, it's not a living person, so it's not disrespectful to walk on it. Birds probably <deleted> on it all the time.

So it is ok to climb this in Thailand since it is just made from rocks?

It would help if you used the correct information. The Stupas and wall are made from bricks and the Buddha is coated with cement plaster.

Yes, people climb on them all the time. That's why the stupas have stairs.

Ironic but bad weather has closed the climb today ,the last day it was permitted ! Guess the ancestors have the final say !
