First Midline Attachable SRS Canopy Anchor which is aiming to hit the market this summer 2026.
Here are some key highlights:
- Midline attachable canopy anchor. Specifically for SRS climbing
- Once at your TIP, Installation can be done in under a minute by an armature. Whether it's a preset access line that the climber just ascended or a line they've trailed up.
- 2 access lines at once and soft retrievable with the same access lines. 3 access lines are possible too, if you are a wizard!
- Retrieval without pulling any hardware through the tie in point or pulling an alloy unit through a loop of rope. Just a loop of rope through the TIP.
- Being soft retrievable with access lines and no hardware getting pulled through tight spaces, this has a "low fear" of retrieval-getting-stuck, benefit to the climber.
- Fast efficient installation for Canobase systems.
- Easy to perform removals while still using SRS. Just choke a spar and move down the tree negative blocking. The midline attachable and adjustability aspects, makes it easy to pass branch whirls on your way down when removing a spar.
- Made to meet ASTM F1773-97 standards. And made, tested and assembled, by reputable life safety manufacturers like CMI and Sterling Rope as well as professional rope sewing companies like Iron Street and others. The Nest will be sold at your favorite store and if it's not, ask them to carry it!
- The company KBNest LLC who has developed this remarkable anchor, is run by a devoted climber and rigging enthusiast. The company is committed to bringing solutions to hardworking people who are not interested in trying out another new take on an old idea.
- Look for it this summer in stores, or get it early for a deal on KBNest.com
Here are the fundamental principles to better understand this new invention.
- it is not a permanent closed loop system, (such as rings or fixed pulleys). Instead for the (small ring), it utilizes an aluminum plate with a slotted jaw opening to drop and trap a rope in, midline. For the (large ring) it uses a rope tether which can be made at will into a cinching adjustable loop for the purpose of catching and trapping your climbing rope and forming a simple but strong closed loop system around it. These two components, the jaw and the loop form a new basis for anchoring SRS.
- When climbing SRS the rope in which the climber is anchored to, is not in motion. Only the climber who is moving on their belay device is in motion. This is why the KBNest can use a rope loop protected by a small profile leather sleave in place of the large ring, to complete the closed system.
