Climbing Kit/Package

[Cutter Dan]

So I've been cutting trees for a few years now and I want to learn how to climb. I realize I'll have to receive training so calm down. I've been looking for a climbing kit/package but there are so many to choose from I don't really know where to start. I don't mind spending a little extra money on gear this important so I'm not necessarily looking for a value deal. Just something I can use for a long time to come. Any suggestions?

Treestuff has a good package called the NJNY kit. It's around $1100 I think

Wesspur also has a combo package for rope and spikes. I would recommend their deluxe combo kit. Also around $1100

Pm me with any questions and I'll be more than happy to help you out

The combo kit was what I was looking for. This might be the one I need.

They have several different ones on there. Just take your pick at what will fit you best

I think the delux is he most bang for your buck. If I could go back I would purchase that and simply request to change the foot ascender to a CT, and upgrade the spurs to aluminum rather than steel.

Are you going to climb spur or spurless?
If you are going to take training, use their stuff and then you'll have an idea what you need and what doesn't/does work for you.

Eventually I'll be doing spurs for removal and spurless for pruning. Gonna take it slow obviously but I'd like to own the equipment. I have a mentor to show me the ropes but I'd like to own my own equipment.
