We noticed this low branch and decided it would make a nice frame for the Peak and its north extension.

The descriptive name of this beautiful peak first appears on a map prepared by Lt. George P. Ahern of the 25th Infantry, from reconnaissance maps done in1888-1890.

Norman Clyde, Fred Herz, and Lee Stopple made the first recorded ascent of Heavens Peak via the North Ridge Route on 15 July 1924.
