Bashlin Aluminum 2-5/8″ Tree Climber ** No Pads or Upper Straps **. Bashlin’s aluminum alloy offset climbers with replaceable forged steel gaffs. This lightweight (5.0 lbs. as shown) climber reduces fatigue and adds climbing comfort. Comparable steel climbers weigh 30% more. The aluminum alloy construction sacrifices some wearing qualities. This climber includes the climber shank and lower foot straps. If you wish to create a custom climber set please order separately your favorite pads and top straps from our large selection of premium pads and straps.
