We are planning to climb the Nose in a party of three. Any suggestions? Should we bring a ledge?
Thanks!

No. Go for the full value.

The Nose has plenty of ledges at strategic locations. Problem is it is soooooo crowded that the ledges could be full, in which case a portaledge would come in handy.

The Salathe gets much less traffic . . .

Nobody does the Nose anymore, it's too crowded.

Camps IV, V & VI are comfortable for 1, crowded for 3. A double portaledge will make it comfortable for all. And probably slower.

Ledges are already on the route made millions and millions of years ago ......
