Description

The route climbs the obvious crack in the middle of the face to two bolts and then the anchor. The crack is about 5.5 and the crux is a frictiony move or two at the bolts. The rock at the crux is of less than stellar quality but the worst rock is avoidable.

There is a decent route to the left of the Golden Egg that is easily toproped from the anchors. It's probably about 10a and has 3 bolts.

Location

The Golden Egg is located well beyond

Razor Hueco Arete

. Keep following the dry creek bed until you get to an obvious rock bench that often has some water runnning over it. Hang a right here. The route will be obvious shortly.

Protection

Medium nuts and/or cams, 2 quickdraws.
