Topo
Summary
Long sustained
and flawless, the Nose may be the best rock climb in the world;
it is certainly the best known. At 5.9 C1 this route is technically
easy but don't be fooled. The Nose, like all El Cap routes is huge,
exposed, and terrifying.
Not only an exceptional
route, the Nose has one of the most incredible first ascent histories
of any Yosemite rock climb. In this SuperTopo package you will read
about the 18 epic months that Warren Harding and crew spent climbing
this incredible line for the first time.

climb, visit our route beta page for The Nose...
