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
Ascend the west face of The Egg, past 5 bolts. Chimney or stem up the gap between The Egg and the west wall of Texas Canyon to reach the 1st bolt. Pull pockets over the bulge, moving left to right on steep featured rock to the top of The Egg. Beware of loose rock and the poison oak at the base of this route and on either end of the gap between The Egg and the west wall of Texas Canyon.
Protection
5 bolts to 2-open shuts 20 ft. below the summit. There are three sets of anchors on the summit of The Egg. A pair of bolts with OLD rusted chains on the NE shoulder, above "Exhilaration," a set of open shuts low on the west shoulder, and a set of Fixe rings below the summit on the south face, for "Egg-Nostic."
