About

Walking On Eggshells is a bouldering area located in the Egg Boulders cluster near Telluride, Colorado. The site is defined by two large, egg-shaped boulders that host approximately ten short problems. The primary route, also named Walking On Eggshells, is rated V2 (5+). The difficulty of the problems generally ranges from V0 to V2, making the site suitable for warming up or casual climbing. Access involves taking a trail through a meadow and turning right at a T-intersection; the boulders are prominent and block the path, making them easy to locate. Parking is available at the site.
