A really nice easy climb. The walk off is harder than the route-any rap bolts yet ?

There are some bolts at the top that are good enough to rap off. I think this would be a good place for IMCS or some of the local guide community to put 2 sets of summit-bolts because of use. One set at the top of the Trunk route and one set at the top of the cheek. This way the second set would be good for TRs and a rap to packs.
