Climbing the Deadliest Rock: The First Ascent of Ball’s Pyramid 🏔️
Rising 562 meters (1,843 feet) above the Pacific, Ball’s Pyramid is the tallest volcanic sea stack in the world. Isolated, treacherous, and nearly impossible to climb, it remained untouched—until a legendary expedition in 1965 changed everything.
🌊 Why is Ball’s Pyramid so deadly?
• Razor-sharp, crumbling rock 🧗♂️
• Extreme isolation & unpredictable storms 🌪️
• Surrounded by shark-infested waters 🦈
• Only a handful of climbers have ever conquered it!
🔥 In this short documentary, we uncover:
✅ The dangerous 1965 expedition led by Bryden Allen
✅ How climbers risked everything to reach the summit
✅ The failures, rivalries, and near-death experiences
✅ Why climbing was banned in 1986 and later reopened
