Double gaff spurs

Just tooling around online today and came across these. Their webpage certainly is funny. They are trying to describe their spurs as more environmentally friendly than traditional spurs. They even tout their usefulness to military!

They'll never get off the ground(pun intended) at that price. 99% of climbers won't put out the extra money for geckos, I really don't see anybody paying $3700 for a pair of spurs.

I requested more info but never heard back. Cool video on their site though.

Uh, oh. Someone stole Jomoco's Inoculator concept.

Found these on ebay. They're definitely different, but very low priced so I think I am going to check them out.

The fancy 4k set looks way better, but I wouldn't buy a set of those unless I fell into more money than I could ever spend.

Anyway, double gaff $150 delivered Russian climbers with the shank on the outside of your leg.

$37oo better include a week to Australia all inclusive and air faire to boot. I'll stick with my pricey geckos for now.

3700 is stupid beyond all measure.

 

[John_KAYS]

guys, that is probably Australian dollars...it's only $2,738 US

Also did you all see the bit about posture?


But what does this look like in the video?



I know the climber is not using a flip line in the video, but it gave me the impression of a much more hunched over posture than what they were showing in the comparison above. But wow did that video remind me of one of the flying monkeys from Wizard of OZ.

That guy in the first picture looks like a total amateur, has nothing to do with the spurs he's wearing, I bet with those fancy spurs the guy would look just as goofy.

Exactly. I was thinking the guy's posture with the fancy spurs looked just like anybody I have ever seen using the boring old spurs we all have.

Looks like a good tree tenderizer to bad trees don't taste good.

[classictruckman]

They don't look that complicated, I could probably replicate them for $30 in steel

 

[classictruckman]

Or less

So that's what I've been looking like all theses years wearing geckos I have to order these new spikes I've been looking stupid all this time.
