Stein x2 spikes

[Doobop]

Hi all, I have a pair of stein x2 climbing spikes I find them really comfortable but they don't seem to get as much purchase as my old Bashlins... they always seem to slip has anyone else experienced this?

Have you tried sharpening them?

[Doobop]

Hi Steve, no I haven't but I will try that though if you think it may help, thanks

Hi I have the same where fine when new also the gag is a little bit on a more strainer angle than most gafs so I use a more of a lean to tree to avoid and a sharpen will help you just garb a gaff kit or try you local chain saw store hope I have helped

Be really careful sharpening them use the sharpening guide if provided - easy to really blunt them up !!

Yeh iv just bought these spurs after leaving my bashin in OZ. had to buy the long gaffs for them as they kept slipping out and at £50 for long gaffs there not cheap. It's helped a lot but I'm still not overly impressed with them. seems you have to really lean back to get them to sink in and stamp them in as well. on a plus there comfy.
