Wainwright Guidebook:	Four
	This peak has great character, for shapeliness and a sturdy strength combine well in its appearance, and that splendid cairn etched against the skies at once an invitation and a challenge -while the man has no blood in his veins who does not respond eagerly to its fine-sounding swashbuckling name, savouring so much of buccaneers and the Spanish Main.
