What is the bolted route left of Goodrich Pinnacle at Glacier Point Apron? 8 or 9 bolts up thin friction, curving right to a roof. It's not in my guidebook.

Moving through the crux lock - now that's micro beta for you, that is.

'...curving right to a roof...'

Is the anchor just above the roof? Was it pretty hard, pretty run-out, and pretty classic climbing? Starts to the right of a right-facing corner? Could be Misty Beethoven, 5.10d R, three stars, from the Reid guide? Not sure. MB has a lower bolt count than what you're saying, I think.

I didn't make it to the roof, I had to bail just below it so I don't know where the anchor was -- too much drag on the rope. It was runout and hard for sure but I do believe there were at least 9 bolts below the roof (used most of my draws getting there).
