I also think that the ledge should remain natural. I lead Pink Panther earlier this season for the first time and did it in one pitch with no problems. any rope drag that I accumulated was solely due to the main roof, and you'd get that either way if you didn't protect it well. As long as you use longer runners on the first pitch, your rope drag is minimal. I really don't see the point in putting bolts in here as there are natural options availible. However, bolts on the ledge above salt and pepper might be considered for sometime in the future, as that tree is beginning to show signs of abuse, and rope abraision while bringing up a second there/toproping is an issue. I suspect that this isn't a new observation.
You can't take the sky from me.
