Thanks MadBolter, and I agree with your post. But again, the A6 is Theoretical (Fabled). The difference would be a belay that wouldn't hold. I can't speak to A5, but I always wondered how one would know for sure if the pitch would zipper or not myself.
Death belay station I agree they should never exist a bad belay station just to up the rating. A dangerous belay created on purpose is @#$%^. I guess some people just want o be famous for some reason.
Personally, I avoid things harder than A3+ and I don't place pitons. I think if a piton is needed today, save it for future generation. (Digress.) Same with rurp and heads.
