Horse Spikes

[TTP]

Bloody hell I hope that tree in the vid was being felled

Strange they have this bit on website about old/new posture ....probably every climber I've seen using traditional spikes positions himself like the guy on the right. So why are they saying traditional spikes make you position yourself like the clown on the left? Hurse's marketing seems amateurish at best which then makes you wonder about the product.

I always put mine in at 90 deg?

Aren't your legs meant to be horizontal then?

[Mark Bolam]

I can scamper along branches like that without spikes.... and 2 grand f#@! that

 

 

TBH mate I could as well on those horizontals, and I'm on crutches!

Surely this is a wind up?

Look interesting but the price is a non starter. Plus I could never use them on prunes, would leave twice the amount of wounds as regular spikes

And for that reason, and whilst I wish them every bit of luck with this innovative new venture, I'm out.

Oh, and I've got better things to spend £2000 on.

Their names are Tiffany and Ulrika.

My first thought is it must be better to pivot on one spike than two...

 

to whit, these spikes are a solution to a problem that doesn't exist... thus an expensive waste of time....
