Can anyone tell me whether there are anchors at the top of A Really Really Bad Idea?

A Really Really Bad Idea

I don't know, but I think I am going to steal the name for a highball boulder problem.

Thanks, Dylan. Since you obviously know the area...why is it such a bad idea?

From the route page and photo it looks like there are only 2 bolts and you'd be looking at eating dirt between them unless you can place some pro.

I see some potential placements? Hopefully someone who has done this can chime in, as I'd be interested in jumping on it too (if I can be convinved that it's not A Really Really Bad Idea).

I have to say my favorite name I've seen so far is for a trad climb in the Red called "Let's Get Drunk and Think About It."

Yeah, I was thinking it would take some pro below. But I don’t think it’s worth leaving anything up top in order to get down. My rack & wallet are a little thin at the moment. If there's a walk-down as Dylan suggests, ok.
Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
