No more along the lines of someone saying 99.9 % o the climbers in know wear spikes and in reality how many climbers can that be like 5/6 maybe , so basically the world revolves around the thoughts of 5/6 other peers , yea that sounds like a real good environment to learn and expand your brain in relation to be a better and safer more efficient climber , and while were on the subject of climber safety I'm sure that bum knee you got has nothing to do with years on those totally tubular geckos that your so proud of . Whatever ......be well and prosper

Woah.......getting a little too worked up about this man. Sme of you guys take this internet stuff a bit too seriously. I don't know what kind of trees your climbing maybe if it's something straight up and down then ya I could see no spikes but the hard woods out here in the north east it is just easier and faster with spikes. I'm not offended you can think what you want of me it's the internet I'm not guna get butt hurt if you don't agree with me lol

Right. You mean like the revolutionary thought of doing pine takedowns using stubs to stand on?? That kind of new thought? lol
I gotta' laugh at that one 'cause I saw a couple dudes doing exactly that near my house. When I first rode by, I got to wondering why they weren't cutting the limbs closer to the main spar. I was tempted to offer a lil' bit of advise (yeah, like I'm a real professional ... not), but I decided not to since I had no dog in that fight. Ya' know what was more funny? They left the stubs on when they stacked their day's work. "I don't know anything AND I can prove it!"

Spikes are trash , I am learning to do removals without them , and the day I can throw them in a lake and never wear them again will be a great day . And if your doing spruce/pine you don't need spikes even at the beginning of learning to climb a tree .

This and treevets nija millionaire post are two of the funniest things I've read on this site.
