Route overlay for Braille Book.

Braille Book goes up the obvious open book.

Pitch 4 was the crux. Stem if you can stomach it, or just ow it. Working hard for every move.

Braille Book. The big obvious corner that goes up to the diagonal band of trees. The last pitch is the face that connects the diagonal band of trees to the trees on the summit of the buttress.

Pulling the roof pitch

Braille book: top of pitch 5. Trusting that floating tree belay with obviously exposed root structure. At least it's alive.

20 foot crack that finishes off Pitch 4.

Braille book: Fun exposed pitch 5. First time I really had to not look down when leading.

Pitch 3

Not sure if I ended at the right spot on the top of pitch 3 but I was running low on gear so this was where I set up my anchor (two cams in a flake behind the triton rock feature protecting upward pull).

First pitch of Braille Book.

Coming up P3 in the thin nuts section.

C'mon people, stop with "obvious corner" or "obvious open book." Not helpful.

maybe just a little sandbagged?
