200m.
After some preliminary easy clambering move left to a ridge. Either climb the left hand rib direct, or by starting up a corner/groove then moving left - exposed moderate/diff grade, some loose rock. Easier, but still exposed, climb the rib to the right of the corner/groove, starting on it's right hand side -scrambling grade 2 or 3. These lines merge and become more broken. For maximum exposure traverse left to the pinnacle and climb this and ridge above until the direct line is stymied by a steep wall (much harder than diff) Avoided by a traverse in from the right to access the final section of ridge. Various Grade 1 alternatives are further right but less worthwhile. Loose unstable rock in several places. Worth half a star perhaps.

βeta: The shallower routes up the right side are loose whereas the ridge line is more stable, but harder and more exposed. Not recommended for first timers! | βeta? | |

βeta: Approached from the west with a bit of worry that it might be harder than grade 1. Definitely grade 1 lines on the right which felt like the natural route to take as viewed from the western approach. Enjoyable route, might try further left if I repeat. | βeta? | |
