KBNEST: Mid-Line Attachable Canopy Anchor for Modern Tree Climbers
Transform your basal access line into a canopy anchor in 30 seconds with the KBNest!
The KBNest is a modern work-positioning anchor for tree climbers who want faster setup, greater movement options, and easier retrieval from the canopy. Built as a midline-attachable SRS canopy anchor, the KBNest allows climbers to convert from a basal-tied access system to a canopy anchor without dismantling their climbing system.
- Midline attachable for efficient canopy-anchor setup
- Supports up to three independent climbing lines
- Simple setup, advancement, and controlled retrieval
Designed by Phillip Pedry, the KBNest unit is made in the USA and sold complete with a custom tether built by WesSpur's in-house rope splicing company.
New Logic for Modern Work Positioning
The KBNest is a versatile way to establish a canopy anchor once you reach your tie-in point, with no need to isolate the line on the initial throw. It can be advanced in the canopy as needed, and allows up to three independent climbing systems to be anchored from a single point. This is especially useful for broad trees, complex canopies, redirects, and work positioning where multiple access options save time and effort.
