There is a gear anchor just below the boulder. In a rescue situation one should not worry about leaving gear behind.

 

If someone put bolts in on such an old line, someone else would just pull them out. The last thing we need in the Icicle is another bolt war.

Well said. I agree entirely.

the cam looks bomber but you need to unclip it from your gear sling and clip it into your harness or it's not going to hold jack-crap.

 

NO on the bolts. Trad route on trad crag, you don't want to teach newbys that there's going to be bolts everywhere they "need" them.

 

Un-tieing and blowing a whistle?

B. Shouldn't be trad climbing in the first place, not enough common sense.
