Tree climbing spikes traditionally were just a metal rod with a point ground into the bottom held onto the leg with a leather strap, nowadays they come in Aluminium, Carbon Fiber and other metals but they are now a lot lighter in most cases making it easier for the tree climber to manoeuvre around the tree for a longer time.

Choosing your spikes is personal preference, you need to ask yourself - How often do you need them? Are you in large trees moving around them? DistewlGecko spikes come in either aluminium or carbon fibre and are the premium climbing iron on the market.
