Yes, there is a way (although somewhat tedious) to review pending edits even with less than 10,000 reputation points or when not having the [Heart of Gold][1] nearby.

1. Find the end of the edit queue. Use `http://stackoverflow.com/suggested-edits/X`, where X is an integer. If X is past the end, the result will be "Page Not Found" and if not, "Suggested Edit". Do a binary search to find it. On 2011-06-14 the end of the queue was `http://stackoverflow.com/suggested-edits/60511` and on 2011-07-04T02:09:00+02 it was http://stackoverflow.com/suggested-edits/70489.

2. Find suggested edits not approved or rejected (pending) by lowering the ID number, for example, 70488, 70487, 70486, etc. When one is found, click the link on the top of the page to open the post and take part in the approval process.
