	5.8	★★ The Braille Book	Trad 190m	Yosemite National Park	★ Good	Will Dameron	Tue 13th Apr 2010
Very grunty climb. Up towards the top you can do a nice overhanging 5.10 handcrack instead of a steep, offwidth, grunty, slick corner thing. Highly recomended variation. Oh yeah, and make sure you get the right decent path and don't hike off the back of this thing - it's a good way to nearly get squished by car sized boulders...
