I was once told that of that kind of rock formation, it is second in size to Gibraltar.


As a sea stack it is considered to be the third tallest in the world.
Taller sea stacks rate as follows:

Ball Pyramid , Australia, at 1726 feet or 562 meters

Old Man of Hoy, Britain, at 449 feet or 147 meters

Haystack Rock, Oregon, at 235 feet or 71 meters




Haystack Rock is not one of the world's greatest monoliths

Haystack rock 235 ft tall (71.6 meters)
Beacon rock 848 ft tall
Ayers Rock, Australia 1142 ft tall (384 meters)
Penade Boral Mexico 1148 ft tall (350 meters)
Sigiriya, 1214 ft tall (370 meters)
Devil's tower, Wyoming , 1267 ft tall (386 Meters)
Sugar Loaf Mountain , Brazil, 1299 ft tall (396 meters)
Gibraltar 1396 ft tall (426 meters)
