Has the route been top roped? Is there loose rock? Is it extremely overhanging?

The climb has remained a toprope problem since then. It is a fun moderate climb on solid rock, up good huecos, edge, and hornlike features. The route is an existing route that has been led by the applicant when the bolts were in place and toproped by the applicant and hundreds of other climbers.
