Abstract
A climbing device is disclosed as it may be implemented in an example for providing a canopy anchor for a tree. An example of the climbing device includes a unitary body. An eyelet is formed through an upper body portion of the unitary body for attaching a first rope. A secondary opening is formed through an upper body portion of the unitary body for attaching a second rope. A third opening is formed in the unitary body for receiving a third rope. A fourth opening is made and is defined by a mouth of the slot leading an upper curved portion leading to a lower curved portion leading to a rope resting portion for the fourth rope. A gate can be closed across the mouth of the slot. The unitary body is loaded upon its major axis thus positioning the rope within the rope resting portion of the slot.

A climbing device for providing a canopy anchor for a tree, the climbing device comprising:
- a unitary body;
- an eyelet formed through an upper body portion of the unitary body for attaching a first rope;
- a secondary opening formed through a lower body portion of the unitary body for attaching a second rope;
- a slot formed in the unitary body for receiving a third rope, the slot defined by a mouth of the slot leading an upper curved portion leading to a lower curved portion leading to a rope resting portion for the third rope;
- and
- a gate for closing across the mouth of the slot;
- wherein the unitary body is loaded upon its major axis thus positioning the third rope within the rope resting portion of the slot for use as the canopy anchor when passed over a branch of the tree and anchored at a base of the tree.
A climbing device comprising:
- a body structure;
- an eyelet formed through an upper body portion of the body structure for attaching a first rope;
- a secondary opening formed through a lower body portion of the body structure for attaching a second rope;
- a slot formed in the body structure for receiving a third rope, the slot defined by a mouth of the slot leading an upper curved portion leading to a lower curved portion leading to a rope resting portion for the third rope;
- and
