On the stars front, I find it a bit pointless to have a 4-star system and not have any 4-star routes under grade 23, and only two under grade 26 (I think)... then 11 for 26-34. So, I'd agree with Gareth, and just drop the 4th star altogether. There seems to be a general skewing for stars as well, whereas (for example) the Araps guide seems to be a bit more even.
I find the colour coding for mixed/sport/trad to be useful. Now if someone could just come up with a comprehensive multi-volume Gramps guide, I'd pay a lot of money for that... |
