After years of research and development, we unveiled the Wolf Claw Pole & Tree Climbing Boot Harness. We created the Wolf Claw to address the shortcomings of the traditional harness shown on the right. We researched the climbing profession to find out their opinion of the harnesses they used. We found professional pole and tree climbers have two major concerns with the standard gaff type climbing harness:

The first concern is the "turning force" of the strap harness on the leg. Climbers tell us they have a hard time keeping the harness straight on the leg. Because the steel strap is only on one side of the leg, it forces the harness to rotate around on the leg. This turning force is inherent in the design. The only thing the climber can do is to tighten the harness on the leg. This leads to discomfort, especially after hours of climbing.

The second concern is excess pressure on the skin of the leg. As you can see, the harness rides entirely on a small area just below the knee. After hours of climbing, this area has a tendency to become uncomfortable.

Introducing the Wolf Claw....

The Wolf Claw features a full high impact, molded nylon shell design. The steel climbing harness is embedded in the shell. The climber steps into a boot which is supported on all sides. This boot design eliminates any tendency for the harness to rotate which makes for hours of comfortable climbing.

The boot is ergonomically designed so there is almost no force on the leg. The boot is lined with a neoprene pad which fits snugly against the leg. This design gives full support because it fits snugly and the force is spread out over the entire surface of the leg.

Everything about the Wolf Claw is adjustable. The upper leg rest can be adjusted up and down. For climbers with small feet, the boot liner has spacers which can be adjusted in and out. The Wolf Claw has a three position gaff which allows for tree climbing and pole climbing by adjusting the gaff up and down.

We are convinced the Wolf Claw is the finest pole and tree climbing harness available...at any price. For more information call the number below.
