What is the primary purpose of Gaff Guards?

The primary purpose of Gaff Guards is to protect the user from injury and climber damage. Gaffs are sharp points on climbing spikes that can easily cause injuries if not handled properly. Gaff Guards are designed to cover these sharp points when the climber is not in use or when the climber is being transported, reducing the risk of injury to the user and preventing accidental damage to the climbing equipment itself or to the surroundings, such as trees or structures.

By providing this protective cover, Gaff Guards enhance safety for both the user and the environment, ensuring that the climbing experience remains secure and responsible. This is critical for promoting safe climbing practices and prolonging the lifespan of the equipment.
