You bet! The Klein climbers will fit the Cast Aluminum pads - "Cadillac Pads" some call them. www.wesspur.com/SPU301M-Klein-Steel-Tree-Climber-Set?quantity=1&pads=7 You can get just the pads here: www.wesspur.com/SPU708-Cast-Aluminum-Spur-Pads-Regular-for-climbing-spurs There is also a narrow version, which fits smaller climbers, but must folk fit the regular

Glad you found it useful!

I believe that is correct, both will be spliceable using Samson's class 1 double-braid splice. www.samsonrope.com/resources/how-to-splice-rope

You bet! At roughly 30:00 Dave does a little demo just on the foot ascender. A foot ascender combined with the knee ascender is probably the most efficient way to rope walk.

Yes, that would be regular/daily use. A kernmantle wouldn't be our first recommendation for natural crotch.

@@WesSpurTreeEquipment wouldn't be daily just certain jobs ...I like thick ropes and already have 11.7 focus, bluemoon and ivy..want to get vortex and drenaline to try and maybe kermasyer or simaler

Glad it's helpful! Have fun splicing.

192 pages vs 103...Jeff put some effort in!

Yep!

Hey there, passed your question on to Dave and he replied "Vortex would be fine if he wants a thicker rope, I would probably avoid the SD as it changes the characteristics of the rope quite a bit." Hope that helps! Feel free to reach out with any other questions.

@@WesSpurTreeEquipment so the regular vortex will be OK in wett smokey mountains conditions...I usually use focus or bluemoon but it's little thin ..to grip..I'm about 160 so ???

@@Sethhaun78 Should be just fine!

@@WesSpurTreeEquipment realy biggest or question since it's coated won't it be able to handle crotch friction better and or general abrasions is what I meant thanks apologize..out in feild worming in rain ☔

No worries, questions are great@@Sethhaun78 . The main benefit of the SamsonDry coating is going to be the lake of water uptake and reduced weight. I don't think Samson has published anything about it actually making the rope more durable.

The cameos from wildlife or Dave's dogs are little Easter Eggs in these videos. The crows - not so much!

@@WesSpurTreeEquipment I just found the channel yesterday evening so I didn’t notice yet, that’s a nice touch to videos 👍

Glad it's helpful!

No, it's the perfect size and the cover is tight enough to run effectively.

@@WesSpurTreeEquipment Thank you after having milking issues with silver ivy I am more sceptical of braided core rope.

The figure 8 is more of a legacy tool for tree care. Like you've found, it's easy just to come down on your hitch. A figure 8 or a U-rack, J-rack, or other friction device sees action on very long descents, when you would be generating a lot of heat on your hitch from all that friction.

Hi Steve, I believe Dave was using our sewn loop prusik, which looks a little different now as we've changed the cord over to BlueWater's Dynamic 8mm. It's a 16" pull-to length. www.wesspur.com/CLI366-bound-loop-prusik

16-strands can be hard to complete the bury on. Our in-house splicers may be able to offer some help. If you email ironstreetropesplicing@wesspur.com or call 800-268-2141 and ask to speak to Graham in splicing, he may be able to get you some help.

I asked Dave about that, and he said he thought they were way overpriced.

He gives the measurement in the video

@@aerialrescuesolutions3277 measument from top of pad to ground at the lowest sett8ng adjustment no one does this ..I'm short and needs to be under 14 inches.most every spurs I have to cutt off at least 1 to 2 inches un height with grinder

I hear you, I have seen cut-off shank tops before. It seems a shame to have to modify expensive gear from the start. BUt We modify whatever needs it, that is just how things are.@@Sethhaun78

Thanks for the feedback! The Yale XTC-16 is quite tough. Happy climbing in the New Year!

Hope you enjoy climbing on it! Happy New Year!

So glad you're happy with the rope and splicing! Happy climbing.

Friction will generate heat, but 8's are built for descent. For very long descents where heat management may be a concern, you might want to check out the U-Rack or J-Rack from SMC.

Glad it's helpful! We have several camo prusiks we've made up for saddle hunters here: www.wesspur.com/search?keywords=camo%20prusik&page=1

Hey there, to give a responsible answer to that question, we would need a staff chemist in addition to our arborist! I don't know what is in the cleaner you use and if it will affect nylon or polyester, the two main fibers in most ropes, or if there are other fibers in the rope you're climbing on. I also don't know if the chemicals might affect the strength of the fibers without leaving visible signs of damage. But why risk it? Sap Zaprrr is safe for ropes and works great. We'll send you a free bottle in a $75 order, too ;) Happy climbing, and stay safe.

Glad it's helpful - enjoy what you can do with your new GRCS!

Hi there, we can pass that along. We have some of the most common items in stock at WesSpur on our parts page here: www.wesspur.com/tree-rigging-gear/lowering/good-rigging-control-system/grcs-parts The rest of the items are available by special order, and we can get you a lead time on anything you are looking for.

​@@WesSpurTreeEquipment Drill Bit Winch Driver For GRCS Is it made for to work 7/16 quick chuck. ? Doesn't say on your website.

@@samsungtv4u I will ask and get back to you tomorrow. Thanks for pointing that out!

@@samsungtv4uquick looks says it's made for 1/2" chuck, but I will get more info tomorrow.

@@WesSpurTreeEquipment thanks, I was looking for adapter to work with a quick detach . I was looking at IRONSEA WINCH DRILL BIT adapter that uses a 3/8 socket drive and I already purchased the 3/8-7/16 socket adapter for my qd drill But I fight can go straight from my cutie drill to the winch of course that would be less cumbersome ........also just my two cents , I personally would prefer asystem with an integrated Bullard on top of the winch , it would also protect the winch from any falling debris. The GRCS plate just needs to be a little longer to accommodate it , wouldn't change the cost much maybe $400 , Also I would pay extra to get a all brass winch , I wish that would have been an option , in the long run it would be a heritage tool And it would not drop in value And hard use of the brass just makes it look better. Overall it would be a better value In the long term. Also I use an Ancra 49723-10 Silver Overdrive Ratcheting Cap. I would recommend you trying it and selling it with GRCS parts , it's a good upgrade.

Hi Jim, talked to Dave, and if you mean the plate at the base of the winch, then yes. Let us know if we misunderstood the question. Stay safe!

Hey there, most folks climb trees using 11mm - 13mm ropes (7/16" to 1/2").
