hi yeah i meant old school/new wave in regards to aid grades http://home.tiscalinet.de/ockier/ratings1.htm A few words from this site "The good news about aid climbing rating scales is that the whole world uses a single scale (see were so backwater in terms of aiding that no one even knows of our graing system) that goes from A1 to A5. The bad news is that there are many interpretations of that scale. It will all depend on where and when that first ascent was made. " I guess the first set of ratings are "old school" and the new USA grades are "new wave" cheers
