Spur Climbing Kit General Info
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 there 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.

Contains 150' ArborMaster® Bigfoot rope, SMC micro pulley, 2 Pirate auto-locking carabiners, split tail, and small brass swivel snap.
