Heaven is a bouldering area in Wyoming, about a mile from the community of Hill View Heights. It sits right next to the White Rock climbing area, which makes it easy to pair the two in a single visit. The climbing here is all bouldering, with nine routes spread across a range of grades from V0- to V7. The easiest are Warm-up at V0- and Sloppy Top at V0, while Jaws is the hardest at V7. The median grade is V2, so the area works for climbers of all levels. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from the nearby Newcastle weather station show July highs around 87°F with lows near 60°F, while winter brings highs in the mid-30s and regular snow days from December through February. Other options close by include Stockade Beaver Creek for paddling, about 3.5 miles away, and Summit Ridge Cabin for camping, about 5 miles off. Redbird Canyon, a climbing area in South Dakota, is roughly 8 miles away.
