The link doesn't work for me. Maybe it's just the horribly sluggish connection here at college.

Your webserver isnt setup right:
Internal Server Configuration Error
Syntax error on line 66 of /usr/local/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: ServerRoot must be a valid directory
Fix configuration problem and "touch httpd.conf" to restart httpd |

nice shot; did the right x crack a few years back, the left one had some fixed heads as I recall. Is it really A4 as rated in the book?

I did the right X too about 5 years ago. Pretty cool, i thought the Left X would be too gnarly at A4.

The old guide book calls the Left X A4 and the Right X A3. These are probably old school ratings. I am sure the "New Wave" ratings would be softer. I felt the Right X was easier than A3. Cool pic! Have you ddone Forrest Lawn over at Suicide?

pmyche,
nice pic! short, hard aid lines sure are fun!
question for ya, one that is indirectly related to ratings but doesn't involve the typical rating rhetoric directly...
On "harder" aid pitches when you are looking at a bad fall potential, will you allways choose to stuff a cam or other peice behind a detatched flake or rotten chunk of rock similar to the one in that photo?
It is something I have allways wondered about and considered with some doubt, not only in the aid relm, but ice, alpine, trad, whatever...
Is it best to stuff that psycological pro in rock you are pretty sure won't hold a chicken shit, or just leave it alone?
you allways gotta wonder what would actualy happen IF you did fall on to it...ya know?
On a recent trip to the Valley I was talking with a new friend about p4 of ZM, the one that hooks for like 40ft off the belay. He said he was able to toss (literaly) a nut into some obscure flake that was more or less off route way to the left, and wouldn't you know it, he blew a hook move and fell onto that nut...and it held him. However, if you think about it, it could have easly come off the wall and chopped his noggin off...
Anyway, fun stuff to think about.
C-ya,
Bone
