They successfully reached the summit and unfurled a provided to them by, declaring the island Australian territory (a formality which it seems had not previously been done).Climbing was banned in 1982 under amendments to the Lord Howe Island Act, and in 1986, all access to the island was banned by the Lord Howe Island Board. In 1990, the policy was relaxed to allow some climbing under strict conditions, which in recent years has required an application to the relevant state minister. Geography. Ball's Pyramid with doubleLike Lord Howe Island and the, Ball's Pyramid is based on the, part of the submerged of. Ball's Pyramid has a few satellite islets. Observatory Rock and Wheatsheaf Islet lie about 800 metres (2,600 ft) west-northwest and west-southwest respectively, of the western extremity of Ball's Pyramid. Southeast Rock is a pinnacle located about 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi) southeast of Ball's Pyramid.The shelf is 20 kilometres (12 mi) in length and averages 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) in width and lies under an average depth of 50 metres (160 ft) of water.

It is separated by a 500-metre-deep (1,600 ft) from another shelf on which Lord Howe Island is located. The cliffs of the continue under the water surface to the level of the shelf.Biodiversity Melaleuca howeana A shrub was found growing on Ball's Pyramid. The bush was growing in a small crevice where water was seeping through cracks in the underlying rocks.

This moisture supported relatively lush plant growth which had, over time, resulted in a buildup of plant debris several metres deep.Dryococelus australis. Lord Howe Island stick insectBall's Pyramid supports the last known wild population of Lord Howe Island stick insect ( ).Following the last sighting of the Lord Howe Island stick insect on Lord Howe Island in 1920, the species was presumed extinct. Evidence of continued survival on Ball's Pyramid was discovered during the 1964 climb when a dead specimen was found and photographed. Throughout the following years, several more dead specimens were discovered, but attempts to find live specimens were unsuccessful.In 2001, a team of entomologists and conservationists landed on Ball's Pyramid to chart its flora and fauna. As they had hoped, they discovered a population of the Lord Howe Island stick insect living in an area of 6 by 30 metres (20 by 100 ft), at a height of 100 metres (330 ft) above the shoreline, under a single shrub.

The population was extremely small, with only 24 individuals. Two pairs were brought to mainland Australia, and new populations have been successfully bred with the ultimate goal of reintroduction to Lord Howe Island.In 2014 an unauthorised climbing team sighted live stick insects in an exposed position 65 metres below the summit of Ball's Pyramid in a thicket of sedge plants, suggesting that the insect's range on Ball's Pyramid is more widespread than previously held and its food preferences are not limited to Melaleuca howeana.
