A few months back I visited the end of the world, miles and miles away from civilization off the coast of the Australian mainland. A stalk of stone spearing out of the swelling sea, over shark-infested froth and Antarctic currents we did scary things. This is a yarn about my time surfing the thrashing gales up one of the most supreme geologic formations in the world, hope you’ll enjoy
p.s. if anyone knows how to optimize for youtube’s heartbreaking compression algorithm me and my footage quality would love to know sigh

Epic dude!
Sick video, Max! And great climbing too, I could never haha. I think I'll stick to my boulders.

And the first guys there had to swim through shark infested water with huge waves crashing them against the rock. Insane.
But wait, who put the hooks in the pole??
Really cool video dude! Very engaging. The views are incredible! I wish I can do it someday. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you did your dude diligence before climbing
Crazy footage, so raw
Rad dude!!! Would you happen to have raw footage of the free pitch (Pitch 2), I'd be very interested in beta and gear placementss
Love it! Legendary climb and life experience! Probably my favourite video of this iconic climb!
Very cool, great to see the finished film and also interesting to see the climb from your perspective. You did an epic job making it up there! Thanks for such an epic adventure! 🙂
I would need all the powers of Knuckles to attempt this madness
