There has been very little improvement in pole climbing devices over the past one hundred years. A relatively simple, electrically insulating pole climbing device includes a solid, one-piece sole plate for attachment to the bottom of a boot or shoe, a side bar pivotally connected to one side of the sole plate for extending upwardly therefrom and carrying a top strap for connecting the device to the calf of a user, a metal gaff mounted on the side bar for engaging a pole, and an arm extending upwardly from the other side of the sole plate and carrying straps for connecting the sole plate to the foot and ankle of the wearer. The combination electrically insulates the gaff from the wearer, so that the possibility of an electrical shock is substantially reduced.
