The south ridge of Heinen is a year round scramble that starts at the edge of the reservoir, climbs steeply up an old Jeep road, then traverses up and down a series of bumps along a ridgeline in and out of pine trees. The first 1.5 miles is very steep, and if your running this, it will difficult to maintain consistent upward speed.
