Technical Details
Why Choose Notch Steel Climbers?
Notch Equipment is a US-based arborist and lineman equipment brand focused specifically on ergonomic, comfort-driven design rather than simply reproducing traditional climbing spike shapes — the redesigned cuff and dual buckle system exist because climbers reported shin pressure and fit inconsistency with older-style climbers. If you want a lower-cost steel climber alternative without the ergonomic cuff upgrades, the Treehog TH1000 is a solid budget option; choose the Notch if all-day comfort and adjustability are worth the higher price to you.
Certified Protection Explained
ASTM F887 is the American standard covering personal climbing equipment, including tree climbing spikes and spurs, confirming the climbers have been independently tested for the loads and stresses of professional climbing use.
Pairs Well With
Complete your climbing setup with a compatible climbing boot and tree climbing harness for a fully matched system.

Also searched for as: Notch Ergo Steel Climbers, Notch tree spurs, arborist climbing spikes, lineman steel climbers.
FAQs
Should I choose tree (long) or pole (short) gaffs?
Long gaffs are designed for tree climbing where the gaff penetrates bark; short gaffs suit pole and utility climbing on smoother surfaces.
Are these compatible with my existing boots?
Yes, they're designed to be compatible with a wide range of climbing boots.
Can I use Quick Connect Lower Straps with these?
Yes, but you'll need the separately sold Notch Steel Climber Eye Bolts to enable Quick Connect compatibility.
What does ASTM F887 certification mean?
It's the American standard for personal climbing equipment, confirming the climbers have been independently tested for the loads and stresses of professional climbing use.
How does the dual buckle system work?
Set the rear strap to your preferred position once, then only the instep strap needs adjusting each time for fast on and off use.
