The area where he climbs definitely was drilled by some KNUCKLEHEADS. I have climbed there.

Nate is right, the bolt placements are not that great at all. For instance, there is a roof you have to climb on this one route. Once you mantle the roof there is a nice ledge you can stand on. It's about 4x4 feet. Anyways, about 8 more feet up there is a bolt, which is extremelly hard to clip. If you fall, your landing straight into the ledge no matter what angle you fall at. It's stupid really. The climb is a 5.9 so I don't worry about it too much, but if it were anything with harder moves to that clip, I would not try it at all unless I pink pointed it.
