Default Re: How do you spikeless climb big palms?

Hi guys,
do you have any idea what sort of palms you would be climbing? if it is thick barked then spikes may be the option and anchor into the fronts at the top, the method i use when cleaning palms is spiking and then anchoring into the fronds using a large cambium saver, fronds on their own are hard to anchour into but if you use 3 fronds by wraping a cambium saver over them and then using this can be a real time saver, a quick release also helps using a pulley on the small ring side and a retriever cheap mans rope guide
