What I was trying to say is that by accepting both certification systems, we don't needlessly limit FS climber's choices of climbing equipment.
I agree, there is no requirement that US climbers live by CE standards...what I want is not to be limited to only ANSI standard gear. That was the way...
But they do apply to some of the equipment we wish to use here, Sean..therein lies the rub.
FWIW, the US Forest Service standards for climbing equipment accept both ANSI and CE tagged goods.
