So I know Honnold and Potter have both soloed the route called Heaven and Im pretty positive it has been climbed by others but searching for it on mountain project and similar sites I cant find the grade or anything else about it Im not a Valley Local not yet anyway not until I finish school anyways ;) But aesthetically the line looks gorgeous and would love to do it free! Advice/Information is appreciated thanks

The route looks short hard and steep. I believe that the massive route Galactic Hitchhiker climbs up under the route, then right, and that you could walk/scramble to Heaven from the top of Glacier Point. While on Galactic Hitchhiker I looked up and exclaimed, "Isn't that Heaven! I've always wondered where that thing was!" It looked like it was climber's left of the lookout. You'll have to explore to figure out how to get there most likely.

Clint's photo with the dots on it on the link above is great. Again Clint you are the MAN when it comes to Yosemite knowledge and being helpful.
I've got to check it out one of these days because I can't get my head wrapped around how Half Dome is in the background (to the East) of this shot instead of just North Dome (to the North)

Both North Dome and Half Dome are in Mikey Schaefer's shot above (posted by whitemeat)....
Half Dome is to the ENE, North Dome to the NNE.
Due east are Liberty Cap and Mt. Broderick.

Shite! If you don't stick that landing you're in for a long roll.

I found this shot and this helps orient the base. It looks like the secret to including Half Dome is to stand near the base and shoot with a wide angle lens.

That picture also begs the question: how's the climbing on Basket Dome?
