Anyone been to a comp this year where the Petzl Sequoia, Treemotion, Treeflex were allowed? Seems the head judge for the NETCC is not allowing anything not stamped 22.wgaf.

all of the above in Charlotte.......ansi BS stopping them? It's a rec climbing event. We had kiwis who kicked ass, most of thier shit would have been dq'd other places. Folks need to recognoze the wealth of gear outside the ansi 5k rule...............

TMs at the Southern Chapter TCC, not sure about the others. That dogmatic shit has GOT to go.

I know we're all on the same page with this one, I'm just looking for evidence to bolster my arguement. Head judge told me on the phone that he didn't have a problem with the gear as long as its in good shape and no modifications, now his tune has changed

Getting ansi to change its rules would be akin to pissin in the ocean to increase the salt content.

Gerry's right... but TCCs don't have to hold to strict ANSI rules. It's a competitive event... stock cars aren't street legal; most timbersport wouldn't comply with ANSI.

Maybe we should change ANSI. If they heard the message from all over the place, they'd HAVE to respond.

Blinky's right. It's a competitive event and the broad rules governing out industry shouldn't apply to qualified competitors and these events. It's a whole different realm. Waivers, gear inspections and approval of the judges should be all that's needed.
Let the games begin!
