Best Routes search upgrade

If I'm thinking of visiting an area, I will often use the "Best Routes for you in this Area" search feature to search for the routes with the most stars in the grades I want to climb, and this feature is great. The only improvement I could see is a way to filter by the number of votes a route has in addition to just the stars. Generally, if my time in an area is going to be limited, I don't really care about the obscurity that 1 or 2 people had a good enough time on to post and call a four star route despite the fact that nobody else ever goes there. I generally think it takes at least 5-10 people to get a "valid star rating" and would love to be able to filter out anything with less than n reviews.

Just a thought, thanks for the diligence in keeping the site great.

Man, I've wanted this a dozen times and never thought to take the 5 minutes to make it possible!

Now, if there are a large number of results, you'll see an option to limit it to routes with lots of stars.

An example: mountainproject.com/scripts…

Thanks for the motivation!

Rad! Great solution, thanks!

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
