Approach as for the Love Nest block, but instead of turning off for those routes continue east on a good trail that leads to the Planet X area. Once even with the eastern edge of the rubble pile that the Love Nest is a part of, make a left (heading north) and look for a large round boulder about midway along the east side. A short scramble through brush and a small cave will access this west-facing route.
Stem off a rock to start and climb positive but grainy edges to reach a high first bolt. Small but good edges with decent feet are climbed past the first bolt (crux) to a second bolt where larger, more incut holds lead to the top. Bolted anchor/rap on top.
The quality moves, sheltered location with no wind and the fact that this is a summit with no easy way to the top make up for the shortness of the climb. One star out of five.
