Load buoy stage with just one player.
Jump on the buoy then attach both hands to it.
Alternate between hands while holding jump till you get close to the top then mash jump to get up the final jump.

You need to climb to the top of the Buoy for this one.
Jump across to the buoy using first.
Climb by grabbing the buoy with your left hand by pressing and holding and then press and hold to pull yourself up a bit
Then press press and hold to grab with your right hand and pressing again to pull yourself up further and so on.
Keep switching hands and pressing to pull you up until you get to the top.
Takes a bit of practice to get used to the controls in this game but once you master it the other levels are easy too.
The Achievement guide below will walk you through this achievement and all 18 others achievements in the game too including an easy method for getting the most difficult one in my opinion (Sit Down achievement).

This achievement requires the fine art of climbing. Begin the ascent up the buoy by grabbing onto the buoy with both shoulder buttons. Hold the button to hoist up, release either shoulder button, and then press the shoulder button to grab back on. Alternate with the shoulder buttons until the peak has been reached. At this point double tap to jump and navigate onto the top of the buoy.
This trophy will put your climbing skills to the test. To climb up walls, or in this case a buoy, hold on to the object with both hands. Hold down and push the in the direction you wish to go based on your character’s point of view. For example, if you are on the far side of the buoy and want to go up, you’ll hold the more down whereas if you are in front of it, you’ll want to hold it up. When you’ve lifted yourself up as high as you can go, let go of either or (but not both) and grab onto a higher section with that hand. Release the other hand and hold down to lift yourself up again, then grab a hold of a higher section with your newly freed hand. Repeat these steps until you reach the top.
The buoy is tricky to climb as instead of walls, you have polls. Align yourself with one of the vertical beams and jump to grab onto the first circular level with both hands. From here, hold to lift yourself up. Let one hand go and do your best to grab something above you with it. It may take a few seconds to actually find something you can grab, but just keep trying until you do. Keep pulling yourself up and when you get to the top, you have two options. With both hands holding on to the top ledge, spam to jump onto the top and immediately grab a hold of either the light or the antenna to keep yourself from falling off. Alternatively, you can try and grab onto the antenna from the ledge and pull yourself up that way. As soon as you have both feet on top of the buoy (not the light or antenna), the trophy will unlock.
If you need a visual reference for getting this done, please see the video provided under Safety Warning. This trophy is shown at 04:54.
