Hey Folks, what is the community consensus regarding the nature of Aid grading. Currently I am about to convert all the topo and route grades for the new Buffalo Guide from the australian 'm' grade (mechanical) to 'a' (aid) as the international (american?) standard. We can't seem like we are falling into the prevelant wave of american cultural imperialism but we rather give locals an idea of what they are up against abroad, and visitors a clear difficulty rating. fair? objections? (probably we will include a coversion chart for historical reference and relevance to other areas in Australia with the 'm')
