A pole climbing and safety device has a flexible strap which in use is passed around the pole on the opposite side thereof to a climber, and a pair of handles each adjacent a respective opposite end of the strap and grippable by the climber's hands, each handle being pivotally connected to the respective opposite end of the strap for pivotal movement relative thereto about an upright axis. The device also has a pair of harness attachment arms each adjacent an opposite end of the strap and to which left and right harness members of a harness worn by the climber are respectively attached when in use, each harness attachment arm being pivotally connected to the adjacent end of the strap for pivotal movement relative to the strap and to the adjacent handle about the same upright pivotal axis. Each harness attachment arm is located laterally inwardly of the adjacent handle when the device is in use on a pole, and carries a pole engaging member between the upright axis and the respective harness attachment which engages the pole when in use to prevent the device from sliding down the pole.
