30m.
The alternative start provides better climbing and allows the stack to be climbed in two pitches. It joins the original route by pulling through the bad step on pitch 2.
1. 30m 4b Start from the ledge at the corner right of the south-eastern arete on the east face of the stack. Climb this and pull through onto a ledge, step right and climb the steep wall above to a grassy ledge. Follow this to the arete

βeta: First pitch very crumbly. Loads of loose blocks. Top pitch has become overgrown with vines. Approach was steep grass full of rose bushes and nettles. Wouldn't recommend this climb to someone I liked! Best to take 100m rope to protect the approach and be super careful about all the loose stuff on the stack. | βeta? | |

βeta: The rock on the first pitch is very crumbly in places you have to be very careful as it just breaks off. 2nd pitch was covered in Ivy and had to do a lot of gardening to find foot/hand holds and gear placements. Good fun if you like an adventure and some sketchy climbing. | βeta? | |
