Lanky person (slang) (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beanpole

(Other definitions for beanpole that I've seen before include "Tall rake" , "Tall thin man of leguminous origin" , "Tall thin person (colloq.)" , "runner climbing here" , "A tall thin person, informally and leguminously" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
