Slab fest above San Pedro Vista Pullout on Mount Lemmon?

Just wondering if anybody knows anything about the routes up there. There's one line that looks bolted all the way up though I can't see the anchors and two other lines that seem to terminate a few bolts up. Anybody know the who/when/why on this?

As I walked up my first though was "Slabba-Dabba-Doo", I can't see many people hiking up there to climb it, I was surprised to see any bolts.

Thanks! I didn't see anything in STL that looked like it and it doesn't seem like it's had any traffic in a LONG time, there was a bail quick link on the second bolt that was pretty rusty. Also looked like there was room for a few more routes up there that were pretty obvious so I thought somebody gave up on the area, the approach was like a runout from the car to the first bolt.

Did you open the book? One look at the overview for that area and you would have seen it. The facing page has a topo of the cliff. Dude!

I have no plans on bolting anything up there. It looked like a ghost town that's the reason I asked here.

I did look in the book Eric, seemed SPV was the best way to get up there and using that as a reference point I missed it. I also had it upside down so that might have been part of the issue though it normally reads the same either way.
