Nick, smiling as usual, and rapping off a stump...

... and into a pool.

Heaps throws a wide variety of interesting problems at you. Lots of clambering up and down.

Squeeze through a slot under a stump!

And then down into a pool!

I was surprised by how good of light we had. Green Moss and blackish rock.

Narrows, narrows, narrows. A theme, done to the max, here in Heaps.

Nick executes the "rap off the pack" move expertly!

Finally, the narrowness relents, and we traipse past the "Bivy Site", where many have spent a less-than-comfortable night. Two 50' raps lead to the end, against the huge, smooth face of Lady Mountain. Then we got to the end, changed clothes and started down the big raps, as it got dark. Back to the road at 9:30. Not a fast trip, but not a slow trip. A good time had by all!
