This is the West most route on the North face of the Cathedral. Again horizontally cracked steep but juggy climbing. I felt it was as hard as Nuptial Vow, next door.
Protection
2 bolts are up top for the anchors. 3 draws for the climb. Again, 1/4" buttonheads with homemade hangers.
I wouldn't suggest anyone led this climb as it, the bolts are very old and rusty. I wouldn't trust them to catch a fall, but you never know until you try I guess.
The climbs works well as a top-rope. To me it's not worthy of the time and materials to re-bolt. Just scramble around and tr it.

The bolts are extremely sketchy...... just don't fall if your gonna send it....

I set up a TR on around the tree that hangs directly over the route. This eliminated the rope drag that was eating our ropes.

Yeah these bolts should really be chopped and replaced. They dont look all that safe. I led it though and just didn't fall.

Yes, I would agree that they should be replaced or chopped, if only to prevent someone who doesn't know any better from trying to lead it and taking a fall on one of those bolts.
The route itself is pretty nondescript.

Good climbing, albeit short crux. The homespun bolts should be replaced and the anchor moved down. Sharing with the route to the right leads to problems.
