Ball's Pyramid
Ball's Pyramid is the tallest volcanic sea stack in the world, an eroded basalt volcanic plug rising 572 m from the Tasman Sea about 20 km southeast of Lord Howe Island. Its remote, storm-battered location and near-vertical faces make it one of the most isolated and difficult climbing objectives on Earth.
