I was trying to say (in a way which was obviously one step too far from bleeding farking obvious) that the Nose has way less hard pitches than the Dawn Wall, and the hard ones are way less hard, and the frigging thing has only been freed by 2 (3?) other people in the 20yrs since the first free ascent. I just don't think there's much of a market for this shit, unless your sponsors are happy to keep feeding you for years while you do a glorious first ascent.
