Complete Spur Climbing Kits
Our spur climbing starter kits contain everything necessary to spur climb a tree in one price saving package.

Check out our rope climbing kits if you are interested in non-harmful techniques for use in pruning or trimming. 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.
- The Entry-Level Spur Climbing Kit provides the lowest possible price tag by using economy equipment that still meets safety standards.
- The Deluxe Spur Climbing Kit is one of the most comfortable and user-friendly kit we could provide. Designed for professional use.
- The Premium Spur Climbing Kit is filled with absolute top-of-the line gear for climbers who want the best of the best in comfort, ergonomics and quality. Designed for professional use.

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 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.
Upgrades & Substitutions
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.
