Description
Aegis Rock houses several very good sandstone problems that climb over great landings. There is a little of everything on this rock, the east-facing slab is fantastic, the overhanging west face is dirty but has potential, and the slightly overhung north arete is a must-see of the area's problems.
Despite the rock's excellent quality, the top layer is rotting. I trundled most of the loose stuff and found it to be very solid underneath, but there is still some remaining, just be mindful when topping out.
There is a small downclimb on the rock's south face.
