Description
One of the more obvious routes on the wall, all the way to the right, about 200 ft right of Days of no Future. Yes, up the big ugly flake, just blank for the first 100 feet or so. Well, Ammon hooked up and to the leaning ramp, very heading pitch so beware. Great nailing, some expando, good free climbing and the "maw" is really not bad at all. The last aid pitch is almost all hooks w/ some bolts and a ledge fall if you blow it. On the final pitch I got lost in the dark and ended up in no man's land, untied from the rope (holding a small bush) and they pulled the rope back to them. Ammon relead the pitch (over to the right) and kindly dropped me a rope. Thanks, man. Here's a link to the story; rocknclimb.com/heaven.html
