I recognize the futility in arguing with you, but I feel compelled to let others know that your remarks are a bit left of left field.
"Good" is subjective. From your view (which is apparently based on a "quick glance" at a single route in the book), the beta is not detailed enough to make you feel warm and fuzzy. Many others have commented to me that they thought the beta was sufficient enough to assist one in getting the job done -- which was the goal in publishing the information.
Were you to hypothetically acquire a copy of the book, I'd strongly urge you to stick with the class 1 and easier class 2 routes. Zion has some great trails.
Personal responsibility, Peter. Absent special circumstances, you should never commit yourself to something you don't have the ability to get out of. If a route choice looks too rich for your blood, back off.
Awesome. I hope it works out great for you.
Granted that you do not provide every last detail for novices, but why then write a guidebook without any good descript?

The page for NGA does not even say left or right once you get to the rock ridge. I might take a fatal fall choosing the wrong way, maybe both ways go or one or not at all. Or get terribly stuck trying to back down.

That free website that the NPS gave me gives better info, if not too complete or accurate as well, but it's free.
Awesome. I hope it works out great for you.
