Carbon Fiber Geckos

[Thor's Hammer]

I tried Pete's a few months ago, I really liked them from the word go.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I still can't get over how light they are. When I pick them up, I'm like "Whoaaaa!"

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Have ya gaffed with them yet????
Or still waitin on TD?

 

[MasterBlaster]

No, I haven't used them yet.

 

[No_Bivy]

what are waiting on?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Work?

 

[treesandsurf]

We've got a pair of the regular geckos at the arboretum; they've got the euro gaffs on em as well. I'm gonna be bummed when I leave there and I have to go back to my bashlins

[CurSedVoyce]

Ommmmmmm.. LOL

 

[No_Bivy]

[MasterBlaster]

I'm not too worried about breaking them in.

Trust me, it's gonna happen!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Yeah but we dying with anticipation!!!!!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Oh, I'm sure I'll like them.

 

[sotc]

[MasterBlaster]

Let's not and say we did!

 

[rbtree]

haha, if i want an opinion on something for climbing, i ask a climber
that vids a joke!

true dat!!

I wore Mickey's alu Geckos today again.. Must say I like them. They're pole gaffs, and I was in a cedar. Perfect..

Second tree was a dead elm with the bark off, and i was back on my B'hams/tree gaffs....which were OK, but was wishing I had the Gecks on.

[MasterBlaster]

I liked that show.

 

[Stumper]

So did I.

Any miles on the Geckos yet, MB?

 

[MasterBlaster]

I wore them Wednesday on a red oak TD, and what can I say? They're awesome! I don't know how crazy I am about the velcro wrap around, but I think I can learn to live with that. They really stick in the wood!

 

[No_Bivy]

stick into ropes too if you aint' careful.........superlight aye?

 

[JohnB]

MB, Is the velcro strap hard to get tight like the Buckingham pads. I used the Buckingham pads once and couldn't stand them.

 

[gf beranek]

I'm super glad to hear you are wearing he CFG's, Butch. Though your caddie's are probably jealous.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I could help those caddies out there boss if they get too jealous and ever need a home . JK. I bet you never part with those Bashlins and caddies.

Ha, not really. I'm gonna put pole gaffs on them!

There's a knack to getting those tight, and I don't quite know how to explain it. All I can say is you have to have your calf in the proper position and then pull the hell outta them until you seal them together. If you just half-assed slap them on, they'll invariably twist on you!
