Our combo climbing starter kits contain everything necessary to spur climb a tree in one price saving package plus the essential tree climbing gear needed to enter a tree without spurs using the doubled rope technique. There are several kit upgrades which are available to go beyond the basics of spur climbing up a tree. These upgrades make climbing and descending safer and easier.
Kits do not come with instructions. It is the user's responsibility to gain adequate instruction in the use of all climbing equipment. WesSpur sells tree climbing books and tree work DVDs, but their is no substitute for personal instruction. In order to help the user attain a basic understanding of the skills and knots required to use these kits, we include a free copy of The Tree Climber’s Companion with every starter kit but this is not intended to be the sole source of instruction. Learning from a trained professional is highly recommended.
If you would like a different saddle, rope, or any other component that's no problem. Just let us know when ordering, and we will replace that item with your preferred one, adding or deducting the difference in retail price, so you keep the kit savings even though you've customized it to be exactly what you want.
