Hi kinda agree.
If you have spent alot of time on the sandstone no bouldering guide will be able to beat the amount of problems that you are able to come up with.
The Nicotene ally is a classic right to left so I will add some text to the topo. Yet I still feel its a great problem both ways. Right to left is more strength endurance and left to right is more powerfull. Its your choice.
As for the Bowles traverse being choss, I think you are completly wrong. Its a link up of some classic traverse lines such as Orr Trav, Nicotine alley, the section under target (one of the best problems on the crag), keeping low on (as the topo shows) on Fragile wall and Funnel area makes the trav a very hard prospect. The ONE easy section underneath the over hang is a very welcome break after completing the section under Sapper (also a good problem).
Anyway, as long as we are climbing and having fun, each to their own and all.
