Complete Spur Climbing Kits
Spur Climbing Kit General Info
It is the user's responsibility to gain adequate instruction in the use of all climbing equipment. Professional training is recommended. 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.
Spur climbing damages trees. Climbing with spurs damages trees. Spurs are most often used for removals. Rope climbing kits are available for non-harmful climbing.

WesSpur's Entry-Level Spur Climbing Kit - New version in 2014!
We've put this kit together to be the best starting kit on the market. We believe that entry-level climbers still need good equipment. This kit is full of rugged, dependable climbing gear that gets the job done without extra bells and whistles. This is our recommended kit for entry-level climbers who have a limited budget but nonetheless want quality equipment. The Shin Cups pads provide rigid support and are far superior to soft pads in terms of comfort. Harness features a wide, padded back support and leather-lined sit sling - a big step up over the cotton canvas belts many climbers start with. Klein spurs have the widest range of adjustment for different height climbers, and feature an offset shank and interchangeable, replaceable gaffs.
Kit Contains: Wide-back harness, Klein steel spurs with Shin Cups pads, 12' x 5/8" Hi-Vis Steel-core Flipline, US Standard Adjuster, Pirate carabiner, Tree Climber's Companion, large canvas gear bag.
Please note: the Weaver wide-back saddle will be available in April. Until then, kits are supplied with Buckingham wide-back harness.

“Everything I needed to get into the game! Top quality gear.I'm vey impressed. I could not find a better deal anywhere else and I literally took days of searching and comparing before I bought my kit. I want to thank WesSpur for providing awesome gear at very fair prices and allowing people like me (on a tight budget) to get started working safely with professional gear. Thanks,as long as WesSpur keeps the same business philosophy they have now I will be a customer for life.”

“This kit is almost everything you need to start climbing (depending on your personal preferences) I have an additional flipline that I added to make climbing past limbs safer. The comfort level of this kit is med-low if you spend more than 90 minutes in the tree at any given time, but it wasn't advertised to be comfortable. The harness is bulky and heavy, but very well built with several options for clipping in accessories. Again, If you plan on occasionally climbing, this kit works great! If you plan on spending large amounts of time in the tree, purchase the most expensive kit your budget will allow. ”
Super Economy Spur Climbing Kit
This super-economical spur climbing kit brings the price down as far as possible by using the simplest, no-frills gear available. The Weaver harness is a single-thick, cotton webbing harness with no padding. Leather 'L' Pads offer minimal padding. While this kit is still full of quality-manufactured gear, the price is kept low by cutting out padding and extra features on the spur pads and harness. This kit is similar to the basic kits offered by many other companies. We encourage any beginning climbers to consider the Entry-Level Spur Kit above for a much more comfortable set of gear.
Entry-level Spur Kit with Climb Line
This kit comes with all the basic spur climbing gear in our regular kit, plus 150' of XTC Poseidon. Included Tree Climber's Companion illustrates how to use this rope in a traditional, closed system.

Climbing Line Upgrade
This upgrade gives the user a rope and friction hitch setup to add climbing on the Doubled Rope Technique to their kits. Combining climbing on the rope with using the flipline from the spur kit, the climber can maintain two points of connection to the tree while cutting and bypass obstacles such as branches without ever having to be untied. The use of a climbing line allows the user more mobility in the tree and the ability to rappel quickly to the ground.
