Buckingham BuckSLAP Canopy Anchor
Details
- Designed as a canopy anchor device for remote or manual installation in the canopy of a tree to provide an approved anchor.
- Removes knots from the climber’s system and uses the full strength of a manufactured eye.
- Color coated in BuckViz™ Safety Green to reduce chance of miss-configuration and can be easily verified from the ground.
- It engineers out hazard exposure by reducing components and complexity to a climber’s system, also adding better rescue readiness and reducing the potentials for failure.
- Fast use on spar pole work as a choking false crotch, and it can retrieve very easily meaning no “spiking down”.
- Acts as a floating anchor, meaning performs the same way a base tie would when retrieving after climber redirects.
- Versatile, because if the tie-in is difficult to isolate the climber advances the system by simply unclipping and re-clipping their carabiner.
- Can aid in rescue by preinstalling a second climbing line on the retrieval side; only if the victim is weighted in the working end, then a rescuer would be able to simply use the preinstalled line to access the tree.
- Easy to understand concept, identifiable components, and very trainable to new climbers regarding use and how to rescue climbers using it.
- The short 7.75” length increases your anchor stability by reducing slippage and increasing the cinching performance.
- The large diameter aluminum Buck rings give the BuckSLAP™ a more preferred bend radius on your climbing line.
- Note: ensure the carabiner is oriented with the spine of the carabiner parallel to the climbing line so it will be loaded along its major axis
- For personal use only. NOT for towing or hoisting.

Easy, Knotless Canopy Anchor
The Buckingham BUCKSLAP is super easy to set up, only need a carabiner and a retrieval line and it makes it super easy to retrieve the climbing line, even after a few redirects that I was too lazy to undo. Instructions included were very helpful for first use and providing options for some different set ups. All in all a good product.
