Euro gaffs?

 

I had some euro gaffs for my geckos but they Were very uncomftable ! I would try a new set of pole gaffs, you may gave lost half inch through sharpening if they are second hand??? If not just lean back more lol!! As sky huck says a lot more comfy than stelletoes!

I haven't a clue what mine are. Came standard on my bashlin alloys. Are the gecko ones a weird hooked shape? Is that what the euro gaffs are? If so I didn't like them the few times I have used the spikes.

I have a pair of longer Klein gaffs on the bench if you are interested. They are whats described as "tree gaffs", and I believe they are over 2" long. Possibly 2.5".

 

I dont climb as often now so just run the pole gaffs, and generally cant be bothered to swap them over if the need arose.

Ah ideal what sort of money are you wanting for them? I knew they would be out there some where:-).

If you bare with me, I'll go get them and take a pic then you know what your getting.

 

Cant seem to remember how much I paid for the pole gaffs now, so not sure what they are worth but they could have been £25 plus post second hand.

Here you go mate. The secretary(wife) just told me they were £30 inc postage. I think they are around £50 to buy new.

 

As a bit of a deal for Arbtalk, if you want them how about you send £20 as a donation to Steve Bullman and I'll pay for the post and send them off to you.

 

Here's the pic, they are 2.5" from shank to point.

I have a set of kleins as well and I use the long gaffs. I prefer the long ones, especially when climbing an ivy covered horror they come into their own. They are a nightmare to walk in but you don't need them when on the ground. Once you get used to long gaffs there is no going back IMO
