I'm mostly a pruning guy, but I've got the kiwi climbers ascender. Helpful for me on the occasional removals because I'm so used to moving around trees on rope
I actually never thought about that! I could see how that could easily happen. Definitely wear a gaff guardWith a little conscious effort the technique is safe but without conscious effort there lies a high potential for serious injury of gaffing oneself in the calf or ankle.
Least wear spur guards if your going to do it.
You're a good friend, Frans. Thank you.
Seriously? It never occurred to you, Frans? I sit here stunned.I actually never thought about that! I could see how that could easily happen. Definitely wear a gaff guard
I could care less honestly.Frans have you ever considered other options to those top L or T pads you got on those spurs?
Haven’t climbed in about 5 years. Made those for my main climber. She is an awesome chick, 130 lbs soaking wet. She can wrangle a 066 in the tree and prune like a master. I am truly lucky to have her help out on my jobs. The only drawback lately is her needing to be home more to home school her kids because of COVID bullshit.Seriously? It never occurred to you, Frans?
