Back in the early 70's the Selaginella Wall was considered the hardest 5.7 (that one airy section where you go around an outcrop as I remember)

I know it's 5.8, but I vote for Braille Book being pretty stiff for the grade.

I think being able to lead Braille Book in good style gives someone a pass to be called solid 5.8 Yosemite climber. It is a great test at that grade IMO.

The first pitchlet of Sacherer's Crackerer woke me up the most of what I've done---overhanging offwidth 5.7?

The 5.7 pitch on Kat pinnacle not to mention the '5.4' loose start.

Leaning Tower Traverse was pretty interesting for 5.6 - heard it called 5.8x (we thought 5.6 pg/awkward)

That little chimney over by bishops seemed stout for the rating.
