Description

On the far west side of Egg is a bolt line ascending the mottled, scrambled egg looking face. The crux is right off the 1st bolt, and is quite short. The rest of the climb max's out at 5.8 and is just plain fun slab climbing. It even has a nice LCC runout midway up! Follow the bolt line as it flows up through cups and edges to the 8th bolt. Here, shuffle right and belay at the "Variety Delight" belay in among the trees. To continue to the top of the formation probably taxes a 60m rope, but having never continued on, I couldn't tell you. Don't hike to the Egg without doing this route.

Protection

8 quickdraws to chains, or scamper right to the belay station for "Variety Delight" after the 8th bolt. If you continue on to the very top of the formation, you'll need some medium sized nuts and cams.

A 70m rope from Lego my eggo chains will leave you about 15 feet from the belay.
