What spikes do you use

[silky fox]

You got Gecko's or Bashlin's Boaty?

[Boaty]

Got the geckos Paul but was thinking about getting the bashlins

[BrendanTreeFeller]

Bashlins steel with Velcro straps - heavy but comfy and most importantly, stable when climbing!

[Shipwrecked Bones]

Another ally Gecko velcro user here - nothing to complain about, awesome spike!

[hamdogg]

Ali bashlins

[TIMON]

Aluminium bashlins.... With leather pads

Carbon geckos with strap bottoms and Velcro tops , you can change the gaffs for the short or long no bother.

Carbon geckos here with full Velcro, next pair will be the Ali geckos with Velcro as I've herd there better for branch walks etc because of the thinner bit that goes under your boot. Not that my carbon geckos are stuffed, had them 4 years and still look and work perfect. Tip for the Velcro straps, keep them fastened when you take them off to stop dirt from filling the Velcro

[Mark Bolam]

Good tip on the Velcro.

 

I like the Velcro bottoms as you can get them on and off quick and tighten them as much as you like.

 

Fiddling around with titchy buckles on frosty mornings that slacken off after two minutes of climbing just ain't my thang.

Are the tree gaffs the long (61mm) distel replacements gaffs that you have Dan?

 

Yes.

 

 

 

 

 

Are the gaffs easy to change? Like could I have the long ones in and just change them for be short ones when needed? Cheers

 

It's two torx bolts to change them. Really easy.
