I just ordered a set of Climb Rights from Bartletts (on sale and shipped in 20 minutes from time of order!) What are the suggested straps, buckles, etc to mod them.

Me too. No hashtag required or wanted.
No one can point me to the right stuff to order to mod some Climb Rights?

You’ll need webbing for strap, plastic buckles, and camo form or stealth strips. Use the search feature and you’ll find a lot of info on spurs and how to mod them. That’s how I found everything I needed.
Oh, I did search! Even found a post where @flinginairos had some cool pre-made straps for the bottom and I had them in my cart, but then @elk yinzer had a issue with his coming loose. Just trying to see if someone came up with the "standard" that seems to work and is safe.

Just recieved my climbrights. Also interested in nodding the straps. Flinginairos used the sea to summit straps for the foot straps.
I saw that and liked it, but then there was an issue with it coming loose.
I figured out if I moved the buckle so it wasn't touching my foot, I could get away with using the g hooks. I haven't touched my spurs since July though, I put them down for this season.

I’ve used my spikes several times now with the Sea to summit open hook straps and for me they are working perfect. Zero issues

Couldn't it be pretty catastrophic if that buckle just came loose halfway up a tree?

I ordered straps from strapworks.com last night. You can get them with the buckle already sewn on one side and you feed the tail end of the strap thru the other half of the buckle. I ordered 1" straps for the bottom of the spurs and a 2" strap for the top. The four straps with bucks cost me around $22.00. Look up side release buckle straps. They come in a bunch of different colors and sizes.

I used a standard 2” webbing buckle for the tops, and I used 550 paracord for the bottom. @Erniepower showed us the paracord trick at saddlepalooza last year. It is long enough to tightly wrap around my legs 3 times before being tied off. I have had zero issues with it coming undone.

@Erniepower I appreciate the pictures! It's still really hard for me to see exactly whats going on there. Can you offer a little explanation? How many strands is that? Did you just run it through the ring and wrap around your ankle and tie?

For you guys that are using pads that do not have a preformed cup Be careful with your choice of buckle.The shank of the climber naturally wants to move toward the back of your calf and there is a good bit of pressure on the top strap.The preformed cup on lots of pads prevents this.The old t-pads or L-pads not so much.Buckle gives and there gonna roll off your leg.
The rope is tied to the ring at the middle. Then I just wrap the ends in opposite directions, around my ankle/calf, until I run out of rope and then the a knot.

Another quick but really useful mod.
I like to sharpen my spikes to needle sharp.
That way I don't have to kick the tree, I just set my spike and add weight. Notice, I don't just sharpen the tip, I change the angle of the grind.
I am switching my pole spikes out for tree spikes. The tree spikes are new so I figured I would show the before and after. Also I figured I would show the tree spike vs the pole spike.
Now word to the wise, when your spikes are this, sharp, they are DANGEROUS and go through clothes boots feet, and legs very easily. About 15 years ago I buried one to the base in my leg. That was a mess.
Either way, I figured I would show the difference. Be careful out there.
