The Nose

Type
Altitude
3m
Part of

Head past the Cave and you come to the base of the second access track. Walk on through the rock gateway, and the large rambling buttress straight ahead is The Nose. The main part of the buttress boasts long, atmospheric routes. They share a final double bolt belay, which can also be easily accessed from the top of the Slab.
From late November to March the ledge below the belay is a nesting place for black-backed gulls. They can be quite protective!
Belay anchor was replaced with 110mm titanium glue-in bolts in March 2018.

As a historical note, people used to climb The Slab, then a second pitch across the shelf above Diagonal Crack, to access the top pitch on Gobeys Nose.

Gobeys Nose, what a classic! Climbed it for the first time recently, as a single pitch – minimal rope drag if you take a few slings and don't place too many runners...
