When you are purchasing tree climbing tools, there are a few different items that you may want to consider buying depending on your experience, budget, and your skill level.  First, you have to have the basics:

• Ascenders

Whatever the type of tree climbing tools you are planning on purchasing, just remember to always investigate their use thoroughly, to understand how to put them to use, and to buy solid and reliable brands to ensure your safety during your climb.

Pinnacle Arborist Supplies offers a wide variety of climbing tools with brands such as Petzl and CMI.

Tree spikes/ spurs should only be used for removals or in dead trees only.  Spikes can be harmful to tree health.

Following are things to keep in mind when purchasing tree spikes/spurs:

1.  Make sure the length of your spikes is for trees.  Pole spikes are shorter.
2. Which type of pad – there is a variety between the basic T-Pad, Buc Pads, Super Wraps and Super Wraps with steel insert.
3. Iron or lighter weight aluminum leg irons.
4. Gaff options of permanent or replaceable.

Proper fit and comfort are important for your safety.

Correct length is measured from the boot sole under the instep to a point ½” below the bone projection just below the knee joint.  If you are over6’2” you will want a long sleeve, instead of the standard sleeve, for your fit and comfort.

At Pinnacle Arborist, we carry Buckingham spikes with four styles of  Weaver pads.  Buckingham climbers have strength and reliability.  Their irons and gaffs are inspected throughout the manufacturing process and samples from each lot are tested to destruction.  

At Pinnacle Arborist Supplies you may purchase complete spike sets or replace individual parts-such as upper or lower straps, gaffs, gaff guards or pads.

If you are looking for information on the tree spikes that are available, Pinnacle Arborist can help. We have a comprehensive website that contains options for everyone. Pinnacle arborist is also offering free shipping on items over $100.

Buying high quality and appropriate tree climbing equip is very important to make sure that you are safe as you climb. As such, it is important to do your research on the type of equipment you need and to experiment with different options to find out what works best for you. For instance, some people may prefer adding suspenders or a basic fall protection harness to their saddle to provide fall-arrest capability.

Others might prefer a saddle without the bells and whistles of some models but have a rugged functionality at a good price.  There are many choices depending on individual likes and your climbing technique such as wide backs, padding, contouring, rope bridges or double D rings, quick connect buckles, and back and hip padding.

The only way to find out what tree climbing equip works best for you is to try out different brands and options. You can also get advice from the experts at Pinnacle Arborist Supplies and explore Pinnacle’s comprehensive line of tree climbing equip.
