The Heap

HEAP (HEEP) n. 1.) An assemblage of things lying one on another; a pile: a heap of stones. American College Dictionary.

"1st recorded ascent on October 9, 1953 by Tom Humphrey, Vern Anderson and John Lund. .... Since there was climbing in this area since the late 1940's, the formation had probably been climbed before the register was placed. Route information is lacking. Russel Hynes, Cortney Skinner and Harold Cole did a route on the NE side on April 18, 1954, but the location is unknown. Chuck Read and Bob Anderson did a route on the W side on September 27, 1958, but its location is also unknown....... ". (Halfpenny, '72)

Today, THE HEAP is a still a 'pile' - a heap of stones for the most part ..... but several very class routes have been put in on its southeast end. These are worth exploring !!
