Lovely mountains.

What's with the rock pile? Is that some sort of monument or grave marker?

There is a rock pile (called a cairn) on the highest point of every mountain and fell so you know where the exact summit point is.

Traditionally every person that gets there adds another.

On some of the higher and more popular ones these piles are meters high.

Didn't know that. It doesn't look too steady, if someone topples it due to poor architectural skill do they have to put it back together or is that left for the next person?

The top of them aren't steady.
Rocks often fall off.
If they didn't they'd become too high.

On larger mountains the bases are very wide making them sturdier.

The rocks that fall off will be placed back on one by one by the next people to climb up there.

You could say that they're permanently under construction by visitors

Yes, it was so windy that my brother struggled not to get blown away! :) but it was worth it, so beautiful! We had the time to do just one walk though as we were just passing by :(
