Someone has added double bolts atop pitches 2, 3, and 4 of Olive Oil. These are shown in the latest edition of Red Rocks Supertopos. These were there when we climbed the route on January 1, 2004. Other climbers might chop them however since they were not part of the "original" route and these belays do protect naturally (though the bolts are certainly a comfort esp. the ones atop pitch 2).

bolts are cut....
but no worries with building stations....I do advise a 70m rope so you can do pitches 2-3 together for a total of 4 pitches....a 70m also makes a more comfortable belay on the last pitch
