Small volcanic plug in the middle of the gully.
Short routes, up to 25m in length, nice for a day's outing on beginner to mid-grade routes. Routes listed L to R (anti-clockwise), starting at Poached.
Access from the carpark at Cotswold Rd. to the National Park is across gazetted private land - from the sluice gate:
East Face - Sluice gate
walk up roughly 400m to the National Parks sign:
East Face - Maroon National Park boundary
This is the start of the National Park. Visitors are urged to stay on the path or use established tracks, rather than blazing a new trail.
Follow the hiker's track up past the rocky outcrop above Viewpoint Buttress, follow the track another 10mins, passing Jezebel on the left, Where the track veers right & starts down a slope, it winds into the steep gully, you will see Egg Rock. 45-60min walk-in.
Sport bolting is a big no-no here. If you place a bolt here, you'd better have a damn good reason, even then, expect it to be chopped.
Quite possibly scaled by Bert Salmon or Don Groom prior to Rick arriving in 1968. First official development goes to Rick, Chris & Mike as one of the very first areas to be developed at Maroon in 1968. Rick would bring small groups here for a TR'ing session & day at Maroon in the early days. Andrew Barry established 2 routes here in 1984.

A few years ago there was basically Frog Buttress and Coolum. Since then there has been more development than Barangaroo and South East Queensland should be on any climbers radar no matter what your style. Except ice climbing, definitely no ice climbing. But over 1250 routes with hard sport, multipitches and quality trad to make a great trip.
