Access Issue: 1. RAIN & WET ROCK 2. DANGER OF EROSION
Details
1. Texas Canyon is conglomerate that is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB during or after rain. A good rule of thumb is that if the ground near your climb is at all damp, then do not climb.
2. The south end of the First Corridor is in danger of collapsing at the base of Sophie’s Choice. A dam of rocks and soil has been built to divert water away from the eroding soil underneath these huge boulders. Please help keep this system in place until a more permanent solution is implemented.

Description
Walking on Eggshells is a long and high quality bolted line on The Egg. Originally the climb was a sketchy 5.11- with loose blocks, however since a rebolting effort in 2018 and lots of cleaning, the climb has begun to tidy up quite nicely. Since the clean-up the route is now considered 5.12a and takes 14 quickdraws to lower-offs.
The route begins a 5.5 slab leading to a thuggy crux sequence into jug hauling and long reaches. A second crux guards the chains, while this crux is much easier (5.10+), the pump while make it feel harder. Regardless of the clean-up efforts one can still manage to pull off small dime-sized rock if you stray to far off route.
