It looks like there is a bolt, but there is a crack right there. (Though it might not be a good placement, I wouldn't really know.)

The climber is using a hand jam on a sport route.

The reflection of the rocks looks ok except for the one inside the shadow on the left corner. It wouldn't have to be as clear as the others.
The border looks weird (mixing with the water) but who knows (??)
There's nothing so obvious or funny as in others "what's wrong with..."

obviously no one else sees anything totally wrong, so what's the deal?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this is a (get ready for this) over bolted, big ego'd, small brained, low skilled excuse for a sport climb, where the entire premise of bomber, easily placed gear is as foreign to the fa'ist (or more likely retro bolter) as borscht and whipped cream, which, by the way, is a Cossack dish.

I'm also going to have to go with overbolted. Considering the huge verticle he has his hand in and the horizontal above his head. :?

He's wearing a helmet on a sport climb.
Oh, and also it's posted in the trad section.

He's climbing with only one full arm. Props to disabled climbers everywhere.

hand jam and climping a bolt... anyhow, his right hand is missing or that crack is more then a couple of inches deep. Could also be that the crack widens as you reach deeper.

The man is trad climbing without socks, and his shorts look ugly.

Since I accidentally retrobolted a climb on the most likely 2nd ascent (7 bolts in 80+ feet.) which I had done a first ascent of 20 years previously with all gear (and then totally forgot about) , so I'm not saying crap about the single bolt and the obvious cracks.....
Awesome picture. I wish my muscels rippled like that, but its the just fat rolling around for me.
BTW: anybody gets out to Beacon Rock and climbs "Raindance", the 5.8 next to Boardwalk, if you go all trad and live to tell the tale ( 1 nut in an expanding block) , my origonal belayer, Jim Opdycke, says its named "Rythmn method" since it basically has no protection except wishful thinking.
hmmmm

There are actually three routes which start in the same general area -- an evil offwidth, .11d sport route to the left, and a finger crack on the right. Photo here is of the very bottom of the sport route. If you view another posted photo, you can see how the routes diverge:
