The climbing line upgrade gives the user a rope and split tail assembly in addition to the flipline that comes in the starter kit. This enables the user to maintain two points of connection to the tree while cutting and bypass obstacles such as branches while spur climbing without ever having to be untied. Because this upgrade comes with a split tail assembly for the rope, the rope can be used as a second flipline or as a climbing line. When used as a climbing line, the user has the capability to swing out away from the trunk and also to rappel down to the ground in case of an emergency. Contains 150' Arbormaster Blue Streak, CMI micro pulley, large D auto locking carabiner, split tail, and small brass swivel snap.
A second flipline upgrade gives the user another flipline in addition to the one that comes in the starter kit. This enables the user to maintain two points of connection to the tree while cutting and bypass obstacles such as branches while spur climbing without ever having to be untied. To climb safely, a second point of attachment like an additional flipline is required.
