Heinous Cling Start 5.12a
The lower half of Heinous Cling is Smith's most popular 5.12. Sustained pockets and crimps lead to a crux deadpoint going for a jug with little for the feet. The namesake hold used on the first ascent - a "heinous" credit card crimp - is still there, but everyone uses a better sequence to the left.
