Classic 'no-star' routes at Point Perp 27-Oct-2014 At 8:12:02 AM nmonteith

I've previously whined about the 'new' guidebook's star allocation - and I'll continue to do so. Their distribution of stars is petty schizophrenic and they use the 'cobweb' symbol all too often. The cobweb symbol is to show that a route is unloved (and doesn't get any traffic) - but it's a catch 22, if you tell people it is cobwebby and unloved - the route will continue to stay that way! There are a lot of routes in the old guidebook that got rave reviews, but the new guidebook gives them no stars and the cobwebby. Usually for quite minor infractions that can easily be fixed like bolt quality.

So I want to open this topic up for people to share their favorite 'no-star' routes at Point Perp!
