WesSpur Professional’s Complete Climber Kit

Select the Kit with your Choice of Harness

Kits are supplied with tree gaffs by default. Pole Gaffs (better for thin bark) may be substituted by request.

We built this kit for the beginning professional who is going to be spending lots of hours in their kit and is able to invest in more fully-featured gear. The biggest upgrade in this kit is the choice of three top working harnesses. The BuckCraft is a more comfortable, though still rugged and lean harness. The Spartan and Sequoia are professional, modern climbing harnesses that will reward your investment with more support, mobility, and comfort in the tree. Your MRS climbing system is upgraded with HyperClimb rope with a hand-spliced eye. The Phlotich pulley is the heart of an improved MRS system with better efficiency and performance.

The spur climber pads are upgraded to the robust and comfortable Big Buck pads. These double-wide pad provide excellent support for long days, with a steel insert to keep the spur shank from biting. The Maxi-Flip is the best Wire-core flipline available.

The Professional’s kit is ready to go to work with you day-one, and will provide outstanding performance over time.
