ABSTRACT:
A climbing aid including an elongated member with a first end and a second end, a generally rigid pad member secured to the first end of the shank, and a stirrup and spike attached adjacent the second end of the shank is disclosed. The pad member is secured to a metal support. An adjustable strap secures the pad and the support to the wearer's leg. The shank is pivotally mounted to the support of the pad via a housing and a pivot member that fits within the housing. The shank may pivot laterally or transversely. The housing prevents the pad and support from twisting the pad about the wearer's leg as the wearer climbs or stands on a pole. The length of the shank may also be adjusted. A strap extends from the stirrup and around a part of the shank and secures the wearer's foot to the stirrup.
