Eastern Nose is a climbing area in the Wilcox Lake Wild Forest in New York, managed by the State Department of Conservation. It sits among a cluster of other climbing spots, with The Laboratory and Bottom Tier each about 0.1 mile away and Main Slab about 0.2 mile off. The closest route listed is Majesty, a trad climb rated 5.10a. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run to highs around 75°F in July, with lows in the mid-50s. That station sits about 287 feet lower than the area, so temperatures here run a little cooler. For a change from the rock, Crane Mountain Path is about 1.3 miles away, and Round Pond Trail, Ridge Trail and Lizard Pond trail are all within about 4.5 miles.
