Throw the book in the trash, or at least ignore the grading. There's nothing like a route being graded for the easy part up higher instead of for the the hard start down low. We pretty much wandered around just climbing what looked good, finding if the route was hard or not by doing it. A bit like using the guide book but less confusing because you aren't trying to find anything specific.
