Ball’s Pyramid lies about twelve miles southeast of Lord Howe Island in the Pacific Ocean. The formation is a remnant of a shield volcano and caldera that formed about 7 million years ago. Ball’s Pyramid is based on the Lord Howe Rise, part of the submerged continent of Zealandia.
The Ball’s Pyramid is 1,843 feet high, while measuring only 3,609 feet in length and 984 feet across, making it the tallest volcanic stack in the world. Ball’s Pyramid has a few satellite islets. On the west side about 2,600 feet away is Observatory Rock and Wheatsheaf Islet. On the southeast side of Ball’s Pyramid about 2 miles away is a pinnacle called Southeast Rock.
The pyramid was named after Lieutenant Henry Lidgbird Ball, who discovered it in 1788. The first person to go ashore is believed to have been Henry Wilkinson in 1882, who was a geologist at the New South Wales Department of Mines.
Steep, eroded, and formed about seven million years ago, the Ball’s Pyramid is positioned in the center of a submarine shelf and is surrounded by rough seas, making any approach difficult. It sits off Australia, in the South Pacific Ocean approximately 400 miles northeast of Sydney, New South Wales.
It was first successfully climbed by a party from Sydney Rockclimbing Club in 1965 led by Bryden Allen.

About 30 years ago I was lucky enough to land on Balls Pyramid with some park rangers. The landing was really tricky as the sea was pretty choppy and the steep terrain. I was on an assignment filming the seabirds of Lord Howe Island. It was way too steep for my level of skill, basically zero, but I did scale about twenty metres or so before I said "stuff this for a joke" and came down. We, or more like the rangers, were looking for the endemic stick insect but missed out. I got some nice shots of some seabirds like the Brown Noddies and Grey Noddy or Ternlet. An unforgettable experience and the fact people have scaled the Pyramid is astonishing.

Thank you for sharing your amazing experience. What you did that day, by deciding not to continue, demonstrated the following; Good decision making, respect for expert climbers and most important respect for yourself. Becoming an elite climber takes years. Most, I am sure , have almost died on numerous occasions. Watching a couple of videos on Facebook, buying the best gear and having $75,000 to climb Everest...doesn't mean you can or should.

Thanks for your work, watched a nature program about this unusual island. A large stick-insect called Lord Howe Stick Insect, endemic to the island group but thought extinct since the 1920s, was rediscovered on the pyramid in 2001. A captive breeding program was introduced in Australia, with plans to reintroduce them to the main island.

While in the US Navy I was stationed aboard the USS Maury AGS 16 (Auxiliary Geographical Survey) from 1960 to 63. During that time the Maury conducted 9 month surveys of the Gulf of Thailand. I was a member of the Hydrographic Division, the division in charge of surveying and charting the data obtained. As we sailed the Pacific and South China Sea to and from the Gulf we stood depth sounding watches. I had the mid-watch the morning we passed over and charted the deepest part of the Marianas Trench, over 6500 fathoms. Navigation Dept. would keep us advised if our charted course would take us near submerged sea mounts, pinnacles such as Balls Pyramid, but that did not reach the surface of the seas. The transducer sonar signals emanating from the Maury's keel would reflect from the sea floor and return, being recorded on a graph that was marked every 5 minutes. The graph paper was a lengthly spool rolling across the face of the device that had to be replaced as the feed spool warned of its end. When a mount was expected the ship would slow and the graph would change from a straight horizontal etched line indicating the ocean floor, as an example 2000 fathoms, to a near vertical line on the graph. The marker would travel from the bottom of the paper to the top then start again, bottom to top over and over again until we sailed over mount's peak. Then the opposite graphing would start, from top to bottom of the paper, over and over until the sonar signal indicated it was again retrieved from the ocean floor. From the graph we could determine the pinnacle's height, depth from the surface and exact location. That information would eventually be implemented to update nautical charts as needed.

I got to enjoy a scenic flight and a boat cruise around it with my family back in the 80's while on holiday on Lord Howe.... the boat was pitching & rolling so much on one side of the Pyramid that everyone onboard - including the crew - got motion sick! That whole area on & around Lord Howe Island is absolutely spectacular… a true nature-lover’s paradise with lots of unique flora, fauna & geology. 👌

This is a great video ! Thank you ! Actually, I never heard of this place, it's quite fascinating. 🙂 Some people had a problem with the narrator's accent. (I can read English, I had no problem.)
