Description
P1 Climb up to a nice crack. Follow the crack to it's end. From the top of the crack head up and left clipping one or two bolts perhaps I 5.6ed over to one of Shadow noses bolts? Over 200' depending where your belayer is standing.
p2 5.7 slab off the anchor up to the flake. Climb the flake passing one bolt. The climbing slowley turns 4th class.

Agreed - the second bolt that was reachable on P1 was a surprise as it is not in the guide Tuolumne Free Climbs, Second Edition, Aug 2009 ... neither shown for this route nor for the close-by 5.9R part of Shadow Nose.
There is also a new bolt after reaching the flake on P2.
FA'ist ok with the additional bolts? Or perhaps someone is re-writing these routes in their own style?
Last, there's a crack after the first P1 bolt which nicely takes a .3 BD C4 cam. On that note, consider bringing the rack suggested in Tuolumne Free Climbs along with a cam equivalent to the .3 BD C4. Aug 8, 2016
I suspect that the first belay point is actually at the top of the P1 crack like the top of the Shadow Nose P1 crack because they were using 50m ropes when they did these climbs so no way they went to the bolted anchors in one pitch making the White Flake 3 pitches. The "new bolt after reaching the flake on P2" is an original placement and is in the Reid guide and was among the bolts replaced by Roger Brown. The bolts from the Shadow Nose all the way west to a mysto climb not in the guide were rebolted by Roger a little over three weeks ago and he said all the bolts were old 1/4" Leepers suggesting all bolts were original and had the same bolt count.
