Used Properly, Tree Climbing Spikes Can Minimize Tree Damage

June 24th, 2009 by admin

My first reaction when I learned about the sport of tree climbing and about the various safety equipment, was that the trees would be damaged.  But, I was assured that if handled properly, even the Tree Climbing Spikes required for a safe climb are designed to cause minimal damage to the trees.  This is especially true with the more professional and seasoned climbers, since they climb on a regular basis.  They know the proper technique and safety equipment to use to minimize damaging the trees.  I found this to be a relief since I am both interested in the sport and in preserving the environment.
