Bolted sport route

Description:
2 pitch climb starting in a chimney and moves to face climbing. The bolts are kinda spacy for some but not terrably runnout. Feels a bit harder than the "moderate" grade suggests. Definately has that "old school" feel.

Flash ascent by:
First fall
My first fall was on this route, staring into the face of Mark (the FA) as I worked the final overhang. He was watching from the top of the route - just past the overhang - and later said that he could see the fear growing in my face as my arms grew tired, and he knew I was going to fly.
He also told me that when he put up the route he intended for people to use a piece in the overhang above the last bolt. Unfortunately, I don't remember the size 'cuz it was so long ago.
I don't know WTF a "Flash" ascent is. Maybe I red-pointed it. Who cares?
I haven't climbed it since then, but as I recall if I had known how to use my feet better it would have been much easier.
