I put on my pole spikes the other day. Much, much better on small maple wood.

On grass is fine, IMO, feet apart, and carefully. Avoid gravel and pavement as much as possible.

And properly sharpened

I mostly lightly drag my spurs up the trunk, and step down, avoiding stomping my spurs in, unless necessary. My climb line stays across the top of my foot where I can feel it.

I always run my climbing line inside my lanyard, rope over the top of my foot if not carrying a ropebag. If carrying a ropebag, I redirect through a hip carabiner, creating a little place to store a little slack, versus constantly stuffing. Rope back at my 7-8:00 position, 12 being in front of me.
