I can assure you I will never find out.

Same as the Spiderjackery vid mate.

 

Give a great climber any bit of kit and he'll make it look useful.

 

I'll stick to my Geckos.

 

 

That promo video is complete tosh. Any one of us can climb like that if we don't have to manage a rope and don't have a chainsaw hanging on the harness.

However, here in the real world........

Are you going to sue?

 

 

Apparently she's put some weight on and has increased her half hourly rate so I'm staying well clear!

Hahaha took me a while, that one!

[jomoco]

Would you not loose the ability to turn your feet whilst the gaffs were dug in. Not good for the knees perhaps?

Mark, should you not be shopping for a stanner lift, not some new gaffs!

 

Bingo!

 

And at 57 years old, my poor old knees couldn't take it!

 

The ability to pivot and spin while sunk into the stem's crucial IME.

2 grand for a pair of spikes is mental. Stone cold, Donald Trump levels of mental

[Mark Bolam]

Are you getting a pair?

[felixthelogchopper]

Are you getting a pair?

 

I've bought a pair and I don't even climb. I reckon they'll look great when I wear my harness in the pub so people think I am an ace tree surgeon.

I will never understand these

 

I've watched plenty of mupets banging their spikes in and cringed for the poor knees, but I have only ever place my gaffs and let my body weight push them in.

No disco legs with them on.
