Thanks for your comments and thoughts John. Your posts demonstrate the rich climbing heritage of Balls Pyramid and the personal significance this special place can hold for the individual.
It would be great to hear other first hand accounts of those who have climbed the spire, their opinions on the issue of access and what Balls Pyramid means to them on a personal level. If anyone has contact with these climbers please notify them of this discussion.
I've seen Johns 1969 film “the Second Ascent of Balls Pyramid”. The fisheye summit approach footage is spectacularly inspiring. Recommended viewing!
