Painted Black

Have you guys ever top-roped Painted Black just right of Never Ending Story? It's a nice line. What are your thoughts on adding a few bolts to the bottom of this route? It's currently a TR route. Would turn to gear once the route merges with Pink Stripe On Grey Canvas.
I want to go to hell... there's probably lots of rock to climb there.

I'd vote yes. This is a great line but the start is unprotected, and thusly it hardly ever gets climbed. I like it better for a start than it's neighbour, and it provides a great way up the that ledge. It's been a year or two since I looked at it, but you could probably get away with only one or two bolts I think.

definately at least 2 bolts... it is a pretty long blank face. Unless of course you want it to be as sketchy as Sparky Start.

I'd say go ahead and bolt it, it's a nice line, it's a shame to have it only as a toprope.
