Stars are there to guide the best routes, at the grade, in the area. Royal flush is one of the better ones that I have done in the Youies, so I have no problem with it getting three. I reckon it's the best that Urinal wall has to offer.
I reckon Niel is drawing a long bow comparing Royal Flush to Serpentine, it just can't be done on any level, size, location, rock type, style. I don't think that's what the star system is all about.
If I go to an area I want an idea of what is going to be good and am happy to take the guide book editors opinion. |
