Description

Itching for some more handcracks after ticking

Spectreman

? Check out the upper tier of The Heap (South Face). This is a great pitch of thin hands to layback fingers to a wide crux exit. Belay/rap at the anchors atop the formation.

Location

Climb any of the pitches on the lower tier (Approach,

Country Swing

,

Call Me Barney

) to access the upper tier where there are a couple handcracks along with a chimney and fingercrack.

Protection

Thin hands and some fingers (

i.e.

, #0.4 Camalot or orange TCU through #2.5 Friend,

etc..

) I only placed 1 #2 Camalot size above the crux, ... not needed.
