Edelrid spikes-compatible with foot ascender?

[Treetom15]

Having moved from the alloy Distel spikes to the Edelrid talons due to changing company, I’m finding it pretty awkward to fit a foot ascender with the spikes. It fitted great with the Distels, just wondering if anyone else has come up with a solution to this? Cheers!

I bought this setup a few weeks ago. 

Cost nearly £100 but I was in the market for a new ascender and I plan on getting the quickstep boots one day, as I have some of their other boots already and am very happy with them. 

Working really well so far although it does make one spike really heavy. 

I think kiwi klimbers make something similar that bolts under the gaff. Not sure of the availability in the Uk though.

I looked at that setup before, but I’ve always just managed to squeeze my ascender around the shank on the spikes-no luck this time though! Looks like that might be worth investing in, any idea if that plate fits other ascenders or just the Arbpro?
