Jay, to me that illustrates exactly why such changes should be subject to approval. I'm glad you made easy work of it, but IMO, route ratings should never change based on the experience of one person. Areas have consensus ratings, and yet they're listed differently on RC.com all the time. Historically, that's been one of my least favorite aspects of the RDB.
Often, a route may be entered into the RDB as name and grade only, say in order to link it to a picture... Someone at a later date decides to "flesh out" the route by adding a detailed description, why should this be required to be approved, and how would the mgra know the details ???

We have this through the "direct field level update" functionality. Any user can fill in the blank fields on a route without requiring approval. Browse the routes database and you'll often see the "update" link on blank fields, allowing the user the enter the value right there and then. Hence routes can be added with the bare minimum info and fleshed out by others.

I believe this functionality is not yet available for EVERY field on the route (I think the description still needs it), but it should be fairly straight-forward to add.
