1 recorded ascents.
Year | Climb | Grade | Ascent Date |
---|---|---|---|
1957 | The Nose | 8b+ (Aid worked) | Nov 1957 |
First ascent.
A huge multi-season ascent which involved numerous partners, lots of fixed gear and an incredible final 15 hour push through the night to complete the route. Initially the team compromised Harding, Mark Powell and Bill Feuerer but when work resumed on the route in the autumn season Powell and Feuerer dropped out while Wayne Merry, George Whitmore, and Rich Calderwood joined the main team. |
