A third bolt would really sew up this route - the runout from bolt 2 is about 1/3 or more of the route length, granted on easier climbng, but a slip up there on lead could be disastrous with the back wall being so close.
Also, make sure you have a bail biner for rapping off any of the routes on this wall. The angle of the anchors combined with the sharp rocks and lower angle of the top half of the rock caught my rope on every ascent of this wall.

Yeah, it is run out from the second bolt but given the grade it seemed reasonable. I never had a rope hang up issue on any of the four routes here. There was a bit of friction on thunderdome due to the low angle of the rock, but I consider myself the master of rope snagging and mine pulled fine. Allen
