One thing I have learned is never take other peoples word on route quality. What one person considers a "pile" another may really enjoy. Climb it and form your own opinion. Only then can you really tell someone what you think of a climb. Of course you can look at some routes from the ground and tell that they are no good, but again you really have to climb it to know.

A good example is Way Up Yonder at Roadside. I have heard for years that the top pitch was loose crap and no fun...when in fact the rock is great and exposure is even better... just climb it.

Your right...second pitch of up yonder is great!! I thought it was crap the first time I saw too. I guess I'll check out Eric and Bryans Excellent Adventure next time I'm at roadside!!
