3 out of 5 stars bolts?

Why are there bolts on the bottom of this route?
I'm pretty sure the anchor near the roof is for TRing the arete to the left which goes around a 10c or so.
Fun route for sure.

4 out of 5 stars Well deserved 3 star classic!

This is definately a great climb. I had to work out the first face sequence a couple of times before i commited to the move. The face seemed a little stiffer than other 5.8 face climbs in the monument like Thrill Hammer and Regular Route on the Monolith (These were also practically one move 5.8). What are the intermediate belay bolts for? I did this in one pitch.
