Original bolt as you got to the flake on pitch 3. The #1 camalot is in the thick, solid part of the flake (it gets thinner higher), and this bolt really wasn't needed - with modern cams at least!

As the comment pointed out, I mistook the bolt (on the face on the left, not shown) as the anchor bolt for P2. Luckily I had a wild country .1 friend that fit here and allowed me to build an anchor. So if you get to this point, keep going a bit further.

Recommend not topping out P4 and belaying where the topo says (just after the last roof) or else you'll have some intense stuck rope shenanigans

Nearing the top of pitch three of Valinor. The other climber is on the R pitch of Hobbit Book. Epic Location! Use caution on the last pitch of any route on Marioulumne Dome, due to the poorer rock quality. Long live Tuolumne, long live Tolkien :)

Slung plates on P3 of Hobbit Book - psychological pro at best, false hope at worst. I doubt they would have held because of potential outward forces in a fall. Note that there is a definite distinction between slinging a knob/plate and tying it off! Also note the extra weight added to the bottom of the slings to keep rope movement from dislodging the slings...
