Way overbolted...
The 1st bolt is 2 feet left of a good crack. The last bolt is 2 ft right of another good crack. The 3rd bolt is the only one nice to have on this route.
Don't forget to bring some pro along! It's another 75 feet to the anchors - and one of the trickier spots is getting up onto the slab right under the rap anchor...
From the 2nd bolt and on up, this route is the same as "Osterland"...
