Wow Streyken haven't the people who are on the OH&S committee that developed the Canadian standards ever seen a chain saw, I can't think of any material that you could construct a useable rope or strap out of that would not be severed by the impact of a chain saw with sharp chain whilst under the load of the climber...bizzare wording, quite impossible to comply to!

(and yep Tim loves circles)
