Description 

This climb is the arete just right of the cave. Start on easy blocks to the its right, and move left to the arete between a giant hueco to the left and Heron's Fissure to the right. A single piece of pro is probably available right before the hard part of the climb starts... starting up the upper portion of the arete... then likely nothing else.

Ardeidae... is a family of heron's and other birds... thus the name.. as the route is next to Heron's Fissure... yeah... you got it.


Location 

This is the arete just right of the cave, and left of Heron's Fissure


Protection 

Not very much... this climb is probably best to toprope.
