Description

Hexaegg is a secluded, little boulder with 2 of the most fun moderate problems at The Fells. It is roughly 9 feet high, and when you look at it directly, it looks like an egg-shaped hexagon - hence the name. The area around it have more broken boulders that may or may not yield more problems. The backside of Hexaegg may have a problem or two if the big log there ever rots away. The sit start straight up the middle of the egg should yield one of the harder problems at The Fells.

Getting There

Use the directions towards Baby Roof Boulder, but before going left onto the rocks, go straight down following a faint trail that breaks from the main trail. From the break, follow as you would going towards "Highway Slab" for roughly 100 yards - it is at this point the trail starts slanting left and the the slope gets a little steeper. Look to your right (if you are facing the highway) there, and you should see a bunch of exposed broken rocks/small boulders and quite a few fallen logs. Hexaegg is just hidden behind those broken rocks and fallen logs.
