Description To find this route first locate Neon Sunset, as described on this site.
From Neon Sunset, walk 3 meters right to a set of thin cracks tending up and right (Zipperhead) then 2 more meters to the left edge of a pyramid like feature.
Climb up on this then straight up the wall passing 4 bolts to reach a fixed anchor. The line is pretty straight and continuous and is a nice climb.
According to the Swain book, this route will take small wires at the base, but I don't recall inspiring protection and instead just bouldered it out with a spot from my belayer. This route might not be the best for a blooming leader.
Protection A light rack of small gear can supplement the 4 bolts on this climb, but not terribly well. Expect a minor runout either way.

| On 3/3/10, the LVCLC with help from the ASCA replaced 5 pro bolts and 2 anchor bolts on this climb with 1/2" x 2.75" SS 5-piece bolts. The original first pro bolt can be found slightly right to the climb in the scoop- an ancient 3/8" button head. The second bolt was adjusted somewhat higher to accommodate the first bolts more logical location. The anchor has also been equipped with mussy hooks. |

| Seems like someone added a fifth bolt to help protect the start. Fun climbing and seemed slightly easier than "Neon Sunset." Not runout, but probably not the best lead for someone breaking into the grade. |

| Actually, we moved the first bolt from the alcove to the right onto the face, where people actually start the route. |

| Easier than neon sunset. First bolt felt just as high as other bolts on this wall. |
