hmmm... Well the 5 in 5.3 stands for 5th class. So how can it be 4th class when the first part of the rating specifically designates it as 5th class? They may be 5.6 "4th class approaches" out there but just because its labeled 4th class does not mean it is 4th class. Just because you throw a Ferrari insignia on your Honda does not mean it is one, even everyone if everyone believes it is. But I guess call it what you want. More often than not "4th class" at the top of some multi-pitch route involves some easy 5th class climbing.
