This is a short, pleasant TR on the W side of Southern Dinosaur Egg.  It is perhaps 25-30 ft.  If you're there, it's a pleasant quickie.  It can be TR'ed from the same anchor as for Coming Attractions & Girls Day Out.  It lies below Sneak Preview.  It can probably be done a variety of ways, but it is likely soft for 5.10, the rating from Rossiter's Flatiron guide.

To approach, consider the Mesa Trail to the Bear Canyon trail.  Bushwhacking up the Bear Canyon drainage past Bear Creek Spire is slightly tedious and a fair amount of poison ivy lives down there.  Go to Stonehenge (with Thought Control) and angle back E toward Southern Dinosaur Egg.

Face climb up a slab just left of a line of bolts on an arête, Coming Attractions.  You can wander further left to soften the grade.  This may be a generous intro to 5.10.  0.89 stars.

To descend, you can downclimb 3rd or 4th class rock to the L.

To find the route, stay on the Bear Creek Trail past the first major rock formation (Bear Creek Spire) until the trail is only about 30ft. above the creek.  The S. Dino Egg has a slabby east face with a large chimney (Hatch) and on its SW side, a steep face with large huecos on the left side.  Scramble up easy 5th class terrain via an obtuse dihedral to get to a nice ledge with several large boulders, below Sneak Preview.

Overhanging for the first 1/2 of the route, then vertical. Conglomerate sandstone with little  pockets and knobs makes a great finger and hand workout. About 70ft. to the chains.  Stick-clipping the first bolt is definitely recommended.  The moves up to the bolt are not easy and you're looking at a 15ft nasty groundfall on boulders if you blow it.  It seems other people had the same idea since there's a small collection of 5ft branches at the bottom of the route.

This is a short, more-challenging TR on the W side of Southern Dinosaur Egg.  It is perhaps 45 ft.  If you're there, it may be worth the effort.  It can be TR'ed from the same anchor as for Left Side & Coming Attractions.  It lies below Sneak Preview.  The painful crimps and lichen suggest little, if any, prior traffic.

Begin a few feet down and R of Coming Attractions.  Lieback/shuffle feet up to a bucket.  Stem R.  Work up along a R-angling overlap/crack with power/balance moves to a slab rest above.  Move slightly L, use a knob on an arête for your L foot and reach high to a jug.  1.48 stars.  You can also finish as for the top of Coming Attractions.  To descend, you can downclimb 3rd or 4th class rock to the L.

After doing Coming Attractions, rated 5.10d in Rossiter's Flatirons guide, this seemed a bit more challenging, hence the 5.11a rating.  You be the judge.  Yes, it could be led but it would be s/vs.

This is a short, fun TR or slightly runout sport climb on the West side of Southern Dinosaur Egg.  It is perhaps 35 feet.  If you're there, it's worth a run.  It can be TR'ed from the same anchor as for

There has been chalk down and right of the first bolt suggesting a more challenging start.  However, the obvious line is to clip the first bolt and face climb to the left to the arête.  This variation is likely soft for 5.10d, the rating from Rossiter's Flatiron guide.  The crux of this variation lies between the first and second bolts.  There is a potential for a groundfall if you fall poorly.  The difficulty eases after the second bolt, but there is a runout to the third bolt where you would not want to fall.  There is a final bolt, which currently does not have a hanger, at the top of the arête. 1.35 stars.

To descend, you can downclimb 3rd or 4th class rock to the left.

Climb up a wide, low-angle chimney for the first pitch from the North end of the rock. Belay from a huge chockstone, then climb up the steeper face to the summit. The second pitch is the crux and more asthetic than the first.

Descent: rappel 70 feet from the bolts for "
