Description

This is an oblong 20' high boulder on the opposite side of the rocky clump with the Planet X Spire. North-facing and shady, this rock is easily identified by the jagged wide crack of Wormhole (V0 R), which splits the face just right of the ultra classic Planet X (V6 R).

Getting There

Walk past The Love Nest and turn left at the fork in the trail when you reach the Planet X Boulders. A couple of minutes walk will see you to the boulder.
