The Egg is a bouldering area in Washington's Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, within the Wenatchee River Ranger District. The Forest Service manages the land, and the climbing area sits close to two other bouldering spots, Jerry Garcia boulder and Couch Boulder, both about 0.1 mile away. The climbing here is all bouldering, with five routes graded from V1 to V9. The V1 route Deal and the V2 route Smokestack Lightnin are the easiest, while Hara-Kiri at V8 and Musashi at V9 are among the hardest. Dire Wolf at V5 is the median grade. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. At a weather station in Leavenworth, about 5 miles away, typical July and August highs run around 87°F with only about three wet days a month, while winter highs typically sit near 34°F. The station sits roughly 1,000 feet lower than the boulders, so expect cooler temperatures on the rock. Bridge Creek Group Site, about 0.7 mile away, and Icicle Group Campground, about 1.3 miles away, are the closest places to camp. Fourth Of July Creek Trail starts about 0.8 mile away, and Victoria Creek Trail is about 2.3 miles off.
