The BD 10cm screw is not CE certified. Does anyone have data on how well it holds up compared to the other sizes (empirical or otherwise)?

A 10CM screw in good Ice is bomber. CE cert does tend to be overkill..

In shallow Ice i'd rather have a 10cm sunk than 17 tied off I suppose. Especially considering the proper placement is with a slight downward angle.

I took a 30 footer on a 13cm Express screw this season. The ice was very funky (reason for the fall). Of course with that much rope out, the screw took less of a force than a short fall.
