A large group of us spent a beautiful Spring Fling Saturday rock climbing at The Heap.  The Heap is located immediately south of Lolo Hot Springs and has 11-12 established sport routes.  We arrived about 9:00 and hiked the approximate one mile approach.  We then set up 5 or 6 topropes for the group to bounce around on.  A few of us led a couple as well.  None of us were hardcore rock climbers, so it was just a fun day to all get out and get some of the rust off our cragging gear.  We wrapped things up at 3:30, hiked back to the vehicles, drove back to Missoula and headed for the BBQ!  Thanks to all who came and made it a very fun day!
