Planet X Boulder.
Photo by Blitzo.


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 R0), which splits the face just right of the ultra classic Planet X (v6 R).


Getting There 

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