Crampons.
Metal spikes used by mountaineers are called crampons. They are attached to the sole of boots to provide traction on ice and snow while climbing.
Spikes or "crampons" are only fitted to the shoes and used when mountaineers climb so high that they encounter ICE on the ground on the mountain. The spikes dig into the ice and stop the mountaineers feet slipping.

We don't always. However, when climbing on ice, they dig in and give you better traction.
Mountaineers wear shorts with spikes, often referred to as crampons, to provide traction and stability on icy or steep terrain. The spikes dig into the ice or hard snow, preventing slipping and allowing climbers to navigate challenging conditions safely. This gear is essential for maintaining grip and balance while ascending or descending mountainous areas. Additionally, shorts can offer better mobility and comfort in warmer conditions or during strenuous activity.
These are not called needles but spikes the spikes get put into the shoe. It's to stop you falling in crosscountry races and slipping on the track.It is actually quite confusing because as well as the shoe being called spikes the jaggy things are called spikes too.
The echidna's spikes are called spines.
That would be either a mace with spikes, or a flail with spikes.
