[Hide Comment] Cool route, awesome name, certainly not on par with the difficulty of other upper .11s. Super fun though! Jul 14, 2020

[Hide Comment] Heimie the Mexican Gynecologist is the route name, and was named after a route developer that I met in Chihuahua Mexico in the 90's. He was actually a Dr. of Genecology, and his name was actually Heimie. He thought that the coincidence of his name and profession was hilarious. it is sad that so many snow flakes have had their sense of humor surgically removed by institutes of higher education.
