Spur climbing storm damaged trees

with spikes on it doesn’t matter

Well the point of not wearing spikes is to reduce the wounding. Once you don't think of them as an option for pruning you'll find it will improve your climbing and work positioning in any tree.

If 90% of the trees in New Jersey were eucalyptus, you might be singing a different tune, or at least maybe singing it differently.

Boots made of gum rubber might also help.

Maybe but I learned to climb without them first. Using them felt awkward!

It's all in the footwork. Between your lanyard and feet you've got a triangle to enable you to position. I've found the top of my foot as useful as the bottom in many scenarios.

Exactly.
