Your argument could be, well if we sell out our beloved M grading system, why not sell out the Ewbank free system as well and embrace the yank 5.12.005a/b R/X? Simple - our free climbing system is cool. It makes kids in other English-speaking countries ask "Momma Momma, why can't we live in Australia?" Now the M system on the other hand is not cool. It makes the kids ask "So if it's M7, what do I have to do to translate that to real aid grades? Divide by two...carry the one.... ....f&ck this I'm going to go play X-Box instead" Now do we want kiddies to be getting fat playing X-Box?
