It is hard to say from this poll if hexes are useful on harder climbs. I voted 5.9 but hell...i am only a 5.10 sport climber so I lead 1 difficulty less than I sport and I place hexes almost at my peak. What you really should do is a poll on how far below you peak climbing ability do you place hexes on lead...ie 1 grade, 2 grades and so on. I have seen one of my partners place hexes on 5.12 but he can climb 5.13. You will never get a good answer though. Hex users love hexes...non hex users don't understand why we love them and think they are obsolete. I think we should make a new category of climbing...non-mechanical climbing...in other words, protection without moving parts...no cams or ballnuts.
