This sounds like a pretty stupid question with an obvious answer, but how do you guys get comfortable on spurs. I started spurless but do own a pair of gaffs, and have used them many a time, but never feel 100% on them. A co-worker of mine suggested velcro wraps, said they give you a lot more stability in the tree. Besides the obvious answer of just get experience anybody have tips to increase the confidence of a climber new to spikes?
Sometimes when you are pushing off a big peice away from you then you get that nasty jolt, I almost ???? my pants trying to hang on, and feel uncomfortable that I might gaff out.. Any suggestions>?
