How many people have done this route? I think if I ever did this thing I would walk into the ocean and be done with it. How do you top something like that?
Wow, just realized there are more than a jillion routes named 'heaven'. I'm talking about the 12d valley route on top of the apron.

bump!
I bumped this because I want to find directions to it, not that I can climb it free but sure would be cool to check it out on a rest day and perhaps aid it... any info on how to find it... I assume you drop in from top of apron...
PS: I searched pretty good before posting.

Cool looking route, that potter vid is wild!

If you number the purple dots, starting with the highest one,
I believe Heaven is above dot 5, and about level with dots 2-3.
I haven't actually been to that spot, but the photo matches up pretty well with the still photos and video.
Check with Mikey, Karl, etc. to be sure.
Or go for an adventure with this photo assist.
Purple dots are the routes Goodrich Pinnacle Right Side, Goodrich to Oasis, Sacherer-Cochrane Direct, and Galactic Hitchhiker.

What is "Free Clinic 11b 25' roof crack"? It's a climb at the Apathy Buttress - in Tenaya Canyon a little bit upstream from Mirror Lake.
It's in the 1994 Reid guidebook, and in 1987 Meyers and Reid.
Free Clinic does involve several approach pitches, so it would be
one on that list which is harder to approach than Heaven.
I haven't tried it, but given the roof length and somewhat moderate rating, it could be fun to check out.

Heavens to Betsy Pinnacle!
I've just realized how far above Heaven is in comparison to Lucifer's Ledge.
Cosmic, weird, wild stuff.
Clint, that's a remarkable photo!
