top bolts??
This route is a nice addition to the wall, but WTF is up with the last two bolts??! Not only do they send the climber into no mans land, not only do they cause additional rope drag, but they put the seconder, or toproper in a VERY precarious position were the potential for a wicked pendulum fall is apparent.
