horses for courses on the Gecko's... I cannot stand them and have tried the ally and CF. really cannot get away with them.

 

Bashlin Alloy's for me with the velcro wrap around pads.

 

That's because you had them on the wrong feet....

As for short or long gaffs, spikes, arn't short for more sporty ventures,ie: pole climbing, so i believe. I got some new ones today which in the description said long gaffs were more suitable for tree work, short for pole climbing. Buckingham Titainium £200. Are these E-bay spikes new or 2nd hand (leg)? Do not trust used kit.

By pole they mean a utility pole.

kliens ....have a chat with lines men or BT boys they sorted me out a couple of pairs,cant stand bashlins though ,geckos for me ...wish i had tried a pair sooner i actually enjoy wearing them unless i put the euro gaffs on!

there are no branches to anchor to, plus if there was, im unsure of the quality of it or the strength t the top, so spikes seem to be the better option, plus its on the edge of a woodland, with persmission from the gamekeeper im allowed to use it. there is no access for a mewp

 

Dont listen to me anymore regarding throwlines:thumbup:
