Mysterious bolts left of Clean Sweep

Can anyone explain the fixed hanger in the groove on the arete right of Dinosaurs Don't Dyno and L of Clean Sweep? looks several years old at least. Is it a project? Open?

Red lines in this photo are (from L to R) Dinosaurs Don't Dyno (roughly), Clean Sweep, and Dance of Life. Yellow line is where the unknown climb might go - starting on the L may be impossible, while coming from the R is definitely possible but the rope drag would be horrendous. The groove itself looks hard enough!

Kent's right - The Chick Is Trouble shares the same start and finish as 7th banana pitch 1. It was put up in 1999 - but the FHs left of Clean Sweep look older than that. I spose the mystery will remain...
