Description 

Mostly bolted, and nicely angled. The granite here has pockets on most of the face. The climbs tend to be long and feel very exposed. Either do a 2-rope rappel or hike off to the west. A very warm area to climb. The highest of the deep winter crags.


Getting There 

Park 1/2 mile up cyn from the sign. Hike up a trail on the North side. Take the left fork at the power pole, continue aiming for a spiked boulder. From the spike continue up navigating towards the egg, taking the right fork above the spike. Just below the Egg, yet another fork, take the left or straight up fork. Scramble up a gully and then traverse left over some exposed but easy ledges.

I've climbed many times on the Egg in mid-winter during our 40-50 degree day warm-spells. It offers varied face and crack/groove climbing, with a particularly interesting (awkward) off-width (.9+) courtesy of George Lowe. Pretty much all easy to moderate climbs with a couple .10a's thrown in. Food for the odd day out.
