What Tree Climbing Gear do I need to start?
At Wesspur we've helped many climbers start their careers, so we've answered this question a lot. Our staff arborist and technical expert, Dave Stice (a.k.a Niceguydave) covers the categories of tree climbing equipment, and what makes a good starting place. The idea is not to promote one brand or type of gear, but to familiarize you with the tools needed to perform tree work.

"What gear do I need to climb trees professionally?"
We get this question all the time at WesSpur. In this video, WesSpur's staff arborist Niceguydave unpacks a bag containing a complete set of climbing gear for tree work. He drops tips from years of field experience to help you build your tool bag.
Critical Tree Gear
- PPE (Personal Protective Equipment): Helmet, Eye Protection, Hearing Protection
- Throw Line Kit for Installing the Climbing Rope
- Set of Rings (Friction Saver)
- Spurs (Climbers, Spikes, Gaffs, etc)
- Work Positioning Lanyard (Flipline)
- Climbing Rope (Climbing Line)
- Ascent System
- Climbing Harness and Accessories
- Gear for a Ropewalker Stationary Rope System (SRS)
One thing you can't fit in a gear bag, but is a definite must-have: training! Tree work is inherently dangerous. With proper training and attentive practice, it can be a rewarding job unlike any other. WesSpur offers training through Ascension Group NorthWest, and there are many training outfits around the country. Many people learn on the job. There are also books and video resources available, though in-person training from a professional source is our recommendation. Your local chapter of the Intrnational Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) can help you find training in your area.
You can be either trained or untrained. Which would you prefer to be?
