100m.
Disjointed climbing on interspersed 5-10 meter rocky and turfy steps up to technical grade II/III, but but each step is disjointed and all difficulties can be avoided, so overall a grade I is warranted. However, avoiding those steps would take away the fun and the whole idea of this climb. Start at bottom and climb up as you see fit; many variations are possible, and a bit of tunnel vision is required to enjoy it. No classic, but a bit of fun thrown in while traversing the Wainwrights.
Accessed by dropping down from the Longside edge on the Skiddaw traverse, or by approaching from below, though the latter would indicate this buttress and minor crag was the aim of the trip, and it surely is not worth it.
