Ascents of Big Nose as Tick or First ascent

Lots of run outs, lots of choss! Almost got the second pitch OS but a foot hold busted just as I was exiting the crux. Grrr...

If you plan to pull past the second pitch bring a panic draw or stick clip.

luke broke a footer on the crux pitch otherwise would defo have onsighted it

i ripped off a massive piece of ironstone and had a 10m fall going up the corner on the traverse/money pitch

awesome day out

Would do it again for sure.

Well beyond my grade but lucky to have a climbing buddy I trust entirely! Wrecked by the end of it as it’s pretty sustained with lots of overhangs seemingly without footers. Bolts very spaced apart so definitely committing for the leader but not as scary for me seconding.

Committing climb not your average clip-up,(could do with double the number to make it that!) widely spaced bolts with serious fall potential should a hold break. Stick clip highly recommended and even if you aid the 26 section, there are consistently 23+sections. Well worth doing if you are up to it!
