This stacks seaward face was scrambled and the hidden summit cairn built by Owey ferryman/resident Dan Betty. Many years ago.

This stack had seen a prievious ascent. There was a hidden cairn on a ledge overlooking a very easy looking scramble up the seaward face. Maybe our Polish brothers of Stackamillion fame or local egg hunters of a long time ago? Cairn was not newly built!
