Deluxe Rope Climbing Starter Kit
New Version in 2011!
This kit is perfect for professionals who spend a lot of time in the canopy. The new Buckingham Viking saddle is plenty comfortable, has a Warp Speed bridge for attachment to your climbing line and side Ds for positioning, and all the snaps, gear loops, and rings a working climber needs, plus quick-connect leg buckles to speed up getting in and out of the saddle.
The climbing setup is truly deluxe, with the super strong Bigfoot climbing line, the popular Bee-Line prusik and CMI micro pulley. The throw line has been upgraded to Zing-It which is stronger and flies better, and the throw-weight is our new Unbreakable weight for ultra durability.
This is our recommended climbing kit for professionals who will be working without spurs in tree canopies.
