+1 on the mystical sounding "when you are ready, you will know."
+1 on getting mileage on 1 and 2 pitch routes of similar grade and style. You will gain an eye for placements and be better able to evaluate and manage the risks involved. These are things you cannot learn from a book. A book can give you the basic tools, but experience is really the only way to learn the "art" that goes with the "science".
I too cannot emphasize enough how valuable it is if you can find someone with experience who is willing to take you with them.
