Every anchor has 3 good bolts. Anchor 1 (this photo) has some semi-sitting room, Anchors 2 and 3 are essentially hanging, anchor 4 is nice and roomy and flat. Just damn high.

This is the top anchor, at the end of several meters of super slab. Third bolt is out of the photo. Lots of room to stand comfortably, or sit if your anchors are long enough. Lots of choss, be super careful not to start a pebbleslide.
This photo shows the actual first bolt for Hellgate Highway.

This photo shows the actual first bolt for Hellgate Highway.

Great view from Anchor 1. Snowbird included.
One of a few bolts on pitch 1 that are unsavory

Hellgate Condominiums is the red arrow at the bottom. The beginning of the climb is the red dot at the top. <br> <br> You can park anywhere in the red circle, then follow the blue line for 30 feet up the unimproved road, then take the trail and follow the red line up to emerge just south of Tower 2.
Looking down from the tippy top. You can see that the last few meters of pitch 4 are more of a steep hike than a climb.

Alex, finishing up the first pitch. The rock on the first pitch is surprisingly smoother than the rest of the route.
