Keep in mind, that you will have to drill a hole for each one. You can’t just bang them in. But you do want an undersized hole. I would rather work off of hooks because you can move around the pole to the most ideal position.
Whether hooks or steps pole rot happens. At least with a step you can feel it being soft and moving when you step on it. With hooks sometimes you kick out a whole slab on the side and down you come. Torn up shirt and splinters in your arms and chest.

Im talking about the ones on the poles not the boot straps. I can find "vintage spikes" for sale as antiques but nothing new. We have more and more customers putting up telephone poles for service, and the volume makes the ladder to the pole too risky. I havent seen these on new poles in decades, were they banned of something? -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
