Are you referring to the Flesh Mechanic anchor at mid height on the cliff?
I want to go to hell... there's probably lots of rock to climb there.

I climbed Sleeping Beauty this week and saw it. It's really weird. Close to good gear on a nonexistent route right underneath a ledge with a tree on it? Who's bolts are these?

Marty, Fred and I figured it out. DND has been putting what seems like arbitrary bolts on exfoliated but in reality if you follow them it makes a Via Ferratta. They took down the line but the bolts remain. Also, they have been chopping lots of trees down there such as the anchor for Fern Gully. This was to make room for their Zip-line. They also, took that down so no there is no permanent zip-line up there. Anyways, I'm writing this to make sure no one chops the "odd bolts" on Exfoliated. They may seem weird and go against Cl ethics but DND owns the land. Property rights prevail over ethics.
