Product Description
Complete Professional Tree Climbing Gear – Deluxe Rope Climbing Kit
The Deluxe Rope Climbing Kit is a comprehensive, professional-grade climbing system designed for arborists who prefer rope-based climbing methods for pruning, canopy work, and tree access. Built with trusted brands and high-quality components, this kit offers everything needed for efficient, comfortable, and safe rope climbing.
While rope climbing systems are most often used for accessing healthy trees and performing pruning or technical rigging work, many arborists also use rope climbing techniques in combination with spurs during challenging removals—especially when setting high tie-in points or working in complex trees. However, for straightforward tree removals, spur climbing remains the standard method.
