Gecko climbers

Maybe you have the European gaffs on your Geckos? I have only tried those, but for me it's working fine.

Actually, I like the look of those European. They stick out far enough to make it easier to get around burls, limbs and crooks in the tree.
If I didn't out weigh their Max recommended weight buck neked I would try a pair. Maybe if I lost 80 pounds. But I don't see that happening any time soon.

One trick I learned about making the spurs stay tighter to the boot.... take the leather strap behind your heal, then under the spur and over the toe. Keeps them from shifting even a little bit.

I've been doing that with my Buckinghams ... makes me feel more secure in that my feet stay "planted" on the climbers. Besides, my straps are too short to wrap around the shank (vertical member) of my climbers. I'm looking forward to trying the aluminum Geckos as I just scored a new set via eBay for $250.
