Climb Right Replacement Gaffs

Climb Right replacement gaffs let you swap out worn or damaged gaffs on Climb Right climbers instead of buying a new set of spurs. Fresh gaffs bite cleaner and are far less likely to cut out.

Signs your gaffs are done

Gaffs wear with every sharpening. Once they are short, chipped, bent or the profile can't be filed back, the spur won't penetrate thick bark reliably. That is when cut-outs happen. Replacing gaffs is cheap compared with the alternative.

Confirm your Climb Right model before ordering, since gaffs are model-specific. You'll find more spur parts in replacement gaffs and parts.

Gaffs also take hits you might not notice in the moment: a buried nail, an old cable, a rock at the base of the tree. Check them after any hard strike, not just at the start of the day.

Fitting and upkeep

Fit the gaffs with the correct hardware and tighten fully, then check there is no play. Keep them sharp with a file, checking the profile against a gauge, and never use a grinder.

Spurs are for removals only. Inspect gaffs, straps and pads before each climb, use a lanyard or flipline while spiking, and follow the manufacturer's instructions and ANSI Z133.

Spur parts are cheap next to a fall or a lost day. Keep a small kit in the climbing bag with a file, a gauge, spare screws and a strap, so a worn part gets swapped at the truck instead of nursed through the rest of the job.
