Spurless climbing on removals, went back to spikes after 2 weeks and my calves hated me
I do mostly removals on a 60 foot white oak last month and the homeowner had nice grass so I figured I would try spurless. Spent 2 weeks going up on a friction hitch and a lanyard and it was slow, like 15 extra minutes per tree slow. Went back to my spikes last Tuesday for a dead ash and my calves cramped up on the way down. My foreman said he has not seen anyone switch back and stay happy. Now I am wondering if I should just commit to spurless for the long haul or keep the spikes for removals. Anyone here switch full time and actually get their speed back?

Did your calves ever stop screaming at you after going back?
