I can't think of many places up there that you couldn't bail off safely with a couple of draws, or a slung tree... and you can get to the top of anything if you want to rap in to clean it.

Most times I've been up there I've found at least one other group, so it's still seeing traffic

As for not knowing from the ground, here's a cheat sheet:

Is it on the slabs? -> It's a slab, pro will be sparse if it exists at all.
Is it a crack? -> You should be ok, but it will probably have blank bits.
Is it known as a good beginners lead? -> Probably good pro, but it might be a sandbag.
Is it known for a run out? -> Really? If you have to ask, you probably should skip it.
Is any pro listed in the guide? -> If you don't have it, it'll be run out.
Are bolts mentioned?
- is it a sport line? -> probably well bolted.
- is it a mixed line? -> probably a little run out.
- are they the anchors? -> I hope you find them, there's probably nothing else up there to belay off.

What info is withheld? You have all the same info we've all had, and more than the FA. If you want specific info then ask around. There are a lot of people willing to tell you what to add to your rack, join you, show you around, or whatever else it is that you want
