Epoch, I think it would help keep things a bit more streamlined if you mentioned what the anchor would be used for. Seems to me it would be wasted time to only discuss anchors for rappelling. If you keep with the Anchors Analysis series, I think all responses should assume that the anchor is mid-way through a multi-pitch climb. What do you think?
It would also help if more responses knew what an equalette actually is . . .
Like Majid, I thought the nearest lobes of the cam were a bit close to edges where the constriction quickly widens. Hard to tell without being at the crack itself.
Same goes for the (non-camming) hex. It's hard to tell whether it's a good keyhole placement that could withstand some outward force, or if it would be pulled out.
Assuming it will be used to belay a leader, an oppositional for the loose hex would be nice.
Edit: The pink quickdraw could probably face us instead of the rock, too.
