What’s New and Improved

The updated Notch Gecko Aluminum Climbers combine proven reliability with upgraded comfort and precision. Every component has been fine-tuned to meet the highest professional standards - and your expectations in the field.

  1. Lighter Weight, Maximum Strength
    Crafted from premium aluminum alloy, these climbers deliver outstanding durability while keeping weight to a minimum. They’re tough enough for daily use and light enough to reduce fatigue on long climbs.
  2. Enhanced Comfort & Adjustability
    The redesigned fiberglass-reinforced cuff and Velcro calf strap provide a secure, custom fit. The cuff height adjusts easily between 14¾" to 21", allowing you to dial in the ideal position for your leg length and comfort level.
    The ergonomic cuff and padded design help distribute pressure evenly - so you stay comfortable and confident throughout the climb.
  3. Superior Stability and Grip
    Precision-engineered gaffs are shaped for dependable penetration and hold, ensuring you stay anchored securely on the pole or tree. Each climber includes both long gaffs (installed) and short gaffs (included separately), giving you flexibility for different types of work.
  4. Simplified Setup with Quick-Connect Hardware
    Time is critical in the field. The Gecko Aluminum Climbers feature quick-connect buckles and a cinch-bar strap system for fast, secure setup. The red “Minimum Wrap” indicator ensures proper strap overlap for a safe and consistent fit every time.
  5. ASTM F887 Certified for Safety
    Built and tested to meet ASTM F887 standards, these climbers meet rigorous performance and safety criteria. With proper training and inspection, they deliver unmatched reliability for professional arborists and linemen.

Built for Real-World Conditions

From -15°C to +50°C (5°F–122°F), these climbers are designed to perform across a wide range of temperatures and environments. Every pair supports up to 350 lbs (fully equipped), offering confidence and stability no matter the job.

Each climber is backed by Notch’s Limited Lifetime Warranty - covering defects in materials and construction for the life of the product.

Easy Maintenance and Long-Term Value

The Notch Gecko Aluminum Climbers are made to last - and easy to care for.

  • Manual gaff sharpening keeps your points precise (no power grinding required).
  • Replaceable gaffs and straps extend the lifespan of your gear.
  • Corrosion-resistant materials stand up to sap, moisture, and heavy use.

With regular inspection and maintenance, your Geckos are ready for years of reliable performance.
