just a tip, you can sleep at the base of the nose if you have all your gear. leave food and car across the bridge where that guy takes the pictures. we got super trashed one night, had no where to sleep and ended up stumbling up there. in the morning we were drinking tequila and heading up a route when a youth group came to climb. they were doing everything wrong, we tried to help, were drunk and thought they were going to die, so we left. sorry for the hijack, thought it was funny.
