Alex Waterhouse and Billy Ridal have freed The Nose of El Cap.

(1/5) > >>

duncan:
Not bad for their first El Cap. route, but as it boils down to two 20’ boulder problems it probably suits them!  I think these are the 9th and 10th free ascents, assuming both led the two key pitches. (Some might add Scotty Burke and Beth Rodden, these two climbed but didn’t lead the Great Roof and Changing Corners pitches respectively).

Paul B:
Epic.

abarro81:
Very cool!

Dingdong:
Incredible achievement - first brits to do it?

cheque:
Awesome!  Brilliant video of them cackling with delight and disbelief after doing the crux pitch.

Feels like I need to start rolling out my “I remember when Billy Ridal’s Dad used to bring him to the Notts climbing wall as a nipper” stories :lol:
