Each gaff is cast from \u003cstrong\u003ealloy steel (Cr, Ni, Mo)\u003c\/strong\u003e, heat-treated and tempered to \u003cstrong\u003e1000–1200 MPa\u003c\/strong\u003e for exceptional hardness and resistance to deformation under load. With a \u003cstrong\u003e30° grinding angle\u003c\/strong\u003e from the perpendicular — the same geometry as the factory-fitted original — they deliver consistent penetration into bark and wood during ascent. Fitting uses two \u003cstrong\u003eM8 screws torqued to 25 N\/m\u003c\/strong\u003e, with thread adhesive applied to prevent spontaneous loosening during climbing use. Includes the necessary M8 screws for a complete replacement without sourcing additional hardware.
