Access is approximately 150m past the track that leads down to Lassie&apos;s Wall. Looking south from White Stack the only decent piece of rock is the Sentry Box, 200m away, and just north of the stack you can see Island Zawn with the detached buttress of the island standing in it.&lt;br/&gt;The White Stack area comprises lower (sea level), middle and upper buttresses, between which is a broad ledge. Mithras finishes on this ledge, and it is possible to scramble to the top from the northern end. Access to the lower cliffs is easiest by abseil from this middle ledge.&lt;br/&gt;Island Zawn and Big Zawn are the next two areas north of White Stack, leading to Lassie&apos;s Wall." name="White Stack Area" rock="White granite, 10-25m" sun="Morning sun" walk="5 minutes" id="1" camping="" autonumber="true"/>

  <climb extra="Þ" grade="26" length="15m" name="Kodak Tart" number="3." stars="" id="4" fa="Dave Jones, Gordon Poultney, Feb 1995.">Up hanging arête at top of White Stack. Two bolt runners with 2 and 3 RP between bolts. A desperate, bouldery start past first bolt leads to easier climbing on the arête. The route is possibly better done as 23M1.</climb>
  <climb grade="15" length="10m" name="Fishcake" number="4." stars="" id="5" fa="N.Deka, R.Hamilton, 1981.">The corner crack on the left.</climb>
  <climb id="112" stars="" extra="" number="5." name="Winter weddings in December" length="10m" grade="16" fa="Rob Hardy 2017">The crack 1m left of RF. Climb the block to gain the base of a rightward slanting the hand crack. Climb the widening crack on good hand and fist jams. Near the top it is possible to step right to a good foothold on RF or finish directly up the crack. Large cams (4 and 5 camalots) helpful. &lt;br/&gt;N.B. Presumably this has been climbed before as it is a reasonable obvious line, but I couldn't find any details so I have added it here. Please edit if this is "your" line.</climb>
  <climb grade="16" length="10m" name="Roaring Forty" number="6." stars="" id="6" fa="R.McMahon, N.Smith, J.Richardson, 1981.">The companion route to Fishcake and 4m to its right.</climb>

  <climb extra="" grade="22" length="10m" name="Return to Norm-ality" number="8." stars="" id="8" fa="Nick Hancock, Andrew Bissett, Jul 2000.">This is the arête on the right of the ledge, you would have passed under it when you scrambled around. The route follows the arête and scoopy feature to its left. The gear is not great, but probably OK. Small cams in the horizontal after the first few moves and a wire low and right. The crux is standing into the corner and reaching the ledge.</climb>

  <climb id="93" number="9." name="Dark Star" length="15m" grade="24" fa="Nick &amp; Heather Hancock, Dec 2010." stars="**" extra="6Þ">Directly below Windjammer and gained by a 50m abseil southwards from the top of the stack, is a highly featured wall in a spectacular position. Climb up left from a bolt belay in an alcove, to follow 6 U bolts via great moves to an easy slab. Belay on gear here and finish up either of the Silent routes.</climb>
  <climb id="89" name="Silent Running" length="25m" grade="23" fa="Nick &amp; Heather Hancock, Dec 2010." number="10." stars="*" extra="5Þ">From the very top of the stack abseil eastwards 30m to busy ledges. Climb a straightforward hand crack to a sharp layback arete with 5 U bolts.</climb>
  <text class="Discussion" id="12">These next routes are on the east face. They can be identified by first locating Mithras, a strong roof bound crack lined with bolted routes on either side. These can be accessed via abseil from the bolts located on the buttress between Kodak Tart and Fishcake.</text>

  <climb grade="18" length="25m" name="Ocean Cruiser" number="11." stars="" id="13" fa="K.Bischoff, R.McMahon, 1980.">The cracks to the left of the smooth white face which faces east. Climb easily up the wide cracks to gain the chimney. Up this and traverse awkwardly right at its top to finish (there is a variant finish out left by Stephenson and Deka, 1989).</climb>
  <climb id="95" stars="" extra="" number="12." name="Open Project" length="20m" grade="31-32" fa="na">The immaculate face which the abseil line take you down. Logged hear in the hope that it will catch someone attention and they'll climb it.</climb>

The route starts in the middle of the sub-buttress then heads right to the first bolt. Bolts are a bit weirdly placed, pre-equipping them is a good idea.</climb>
  <climb grade="17" length="20m" name="Mithras" number="16." stars="***" id="17" fa="R.McMahon, K.Lockwood, I.Thomas, 1980." extra="">The classic corner off the main ledge, pass roof on left.</climb>
  <climb extra="Þ" grade="26" length="15m" name="Febrifuge" number="17." stars="**" id="18" fa="E.Peacock, S.Ford, Dec 1991.">The face right of Mithras. A small camming device protects the bottom moves, followed by 2 bolts then more natural pro. Quite exciting pulling through the roof.</climb>
  <climb grade="22" length="15m" name="White Sail" number="18." stars="**" id="19" fa="Simon Parsons, Nick Deka, Phil Bigg, 1981." extra="">The line on the left hand side of the north face, which is around the corner to the right of Febrifuge. Up a very awkward, slightly overhanging thin knucklecrack. Straight up this to easier ground and a classic layback flake.</climb>
  <climb grade="22" length="15m" name="Eskimo Sun Park" number="19." stars="**" id="20" fa="Simon Parsons, Phil Bigg, Doug Fife, 1982." extra="">The crack on the right hand side of the face. A hand crack with a small bulge at one third height. Strenuous and flared. Climb straight up the crack. The crux involves a layaway at the bulge.</climb>
  <climb extra="" grade="25" length="20m" name="In League with the Devil" number="20." stars="***" id="21" fa="Nick Hancock, Andrew Bissett, Jul 2000.">Nick had to strike a deal with a daeity to get a belay and second for this climb. From the end of the ledge (a few meters right of Eskimo Sun Park) hand traverse right for a few meters to enter the bottomless crack. Follow this up past an overlap and into a corner beside a roof. After sneaking a rest head out right past the roof and snatch for the jug. Mantle onto the jug, take a few breaths and proceed up the pleasant wall to finish. A fine, strenuous route with excellent protection (000-3 friend, no wires needed).</climb>
