ABSTRACT:
In the tree and utility pole climbing process the use of climbing spurs and safety belts is quite common among other methods. The inherent weight of the climbing spurs coupled with the act of extracting the spur from the tree or pole creates an unusual strain on the knee joints of the climber. The improvement comprising a harness composed of a pair of cup shaped knee pads which are adjustably attached to the shin guard of the climbing spurs and thence by means of adjustable straps and swivel harness snaps to `D` rings on the safety belt surrounding the climber's waist, thereby minimizing the unnatural strain on the knee joints of the user.
