Competition
spurs are made in aluminium or titanium with short flatfiled
gaffs for going fast down.
The Open class speed climbing uses toe spurs. They give
the climber some extra push going up because the spurs
are mounted further forward on the feet and allows him
to also use the wrist. They are also called trombone
spurs because the rods are sliding.
ATS is stocking regular working spurs in steel
and aluminium for sale. |
