Egg Swamp

Egg Swamp is a bouldering area in Rhode Island, about a mile from Saylesville Highlands. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Shin Buster Face and Shin Buster Boulder just 0.1 mile away, and Backside Boulder at the same distance. The area is also close to mountain biking on Ripcord and Cross Course, both about 0.2 mile off. The climbing here is all bouldering, with five routes ranging from V4 to V7. Maiden's Rest and Outlook are both V4, Maiden's Lair and Pride Rock are V5, and Swamp Thang is the hardest at V7. The routes were first ascended as recently as October 19, 19. For timing, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable. Typical averages from the nearby Woonsocket weather station show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 75°F, while July peaks near 84°F. Olney Pond, a lake fishing spot, is about 0.8 mile away. Abbott Run, a canoeing route, is roughly 4 miles off.
