Egghead is one of the most fun climbs at The Fells at the grade, and it's not a one-move wonder. Sit start at the very edge of the left arete (highway side). Get established, and then follow the arete up for the topout using powerful movement and insecure feet.

Layback sit start, follow the right arete until it's narrow enough to swing your left hand out for the left arete, and put yourself in a cool compression move. Top out. This is very fun.

Hexaegg is a secluded, little boulder with 2 of the most fun moderate problems at The Fells. It is roughly 9 feet high, and when you look at it directly, it looks like an egg-shaped hexagon - hence the name. The area around it have more broken boulders that may or may not yield more problems. The backside of Hexaegg may have a problem or two if the big log there ever rots away. The sit start straight up the middle of the egg should yield one of the harder problems at The Fells.
