Sad to hear this. My deepest sympathy to Chis' family and friends.

Well done! Can't wait to find someone to drag me up it. As to the bolted crack thing, we faced the same decision ten years ago when we were putting up Borderline. There's a short off-width section on the fifth pitch that could be protected with giant cams and we had to decide whether to bolt it or leave it for people willing to drag up a giant rack. We opted to put in a couple (three?) bolts. We figured that a lot of people who climbed Borderline would continue up to the top via the upper pitches of Angels Crest, and who wants to haul three giant cams for that full day? Turns out to have been the right decision. The climb gets plenty of traffic, and while we've had lots of folks tell us they appreciate the route, no one has ever complained about the bolts. D
