The Gill Egg (AKA Gill’s Route) 

So, I've heard from someone that you're only supposed to use the two incut holds on the right of the egg--implying that the sloper on the nose and just to the left side of the nose are off. I definitely find it easier to use the one on the left side of the nose. What's the consensus out there about how the problem is "supposed" to be done?

Not having a guidebook or anything I used the left side. I think it feels the most natural this way, otherwise its not much of an "egg" type boulder problem. It also lets you get your feet off the starting rock wall and onto the egg section before the move to the jug. It did however feel quite easy for the grade doing it this way.

Using the left side is V2, V3 at most. The V4 version of the Egg goes straight up the front side using the crimpers which is significantly harder than using the left side.

Gill only used the crimpers and the bucket, nothing on the nose or around the corner (I was there). Check out the picture posted in the comments on Larsen's problem.

Gill did have a wonderful eye for boulder problems, but his Gunks visit was only for two or three days. Who knows what other classics he might have done if he had more time?

One shot, one kill! Such an elegantly classic dynamic problem.
