NZ - East Face of Pope's Nose 19-Sep-2012 At 11:25:18 PM PThomson

G'day.

I'm something of an obscurist when it comes to adventurist trad routes (look at my previous posts on this forum, as evidence), and alpine rock/ice is a passion (just got back from a month in Kyrgyzstan.)

When I learned about these two climbs when I was in NZ previously, I was intrigued by the adventurousness, the presumed knowledge that they weren't climbed often, as well as the multipitching scale on such a sheer face.

The information in the guide indicates that helicopters are used to access the base of the climb... Other than money-wise, it might not be too much of a logistical problem.
