Looks like a great and clever device. There only thing I'm skeptical about is the choice for a twist lock pole. I've cleaned windows for 15 years and am familiar with many types of working poles, and I've never seen a twist lock last longer than 6 months of use before it loses friction. Then the sections either slide down or twist out of place when attempting to work them. Clamps are a much better option.

I have but, but I'm blown away at the price of their brushes. Its made me get a cheaper climbing brush and drill my own thread. Saving about a tenner

[bfoles]

Awesome! Are you using the long (14ft) or short (9ft) one??

[slowmonkey]

Loved this clipstick ever since I got it. So easy to use and to teach anyone that has never used it before.

My only gripe is that in cold weather sometimes the twist mechanism to lock the rod sections in place freezes and you can't extend or collapse the stick. I wish they would move towards the clips design that beta stick have moved towards. Other than that I love this stick.

It is heavier than other sticks but it is much more robust is the only other comparison remark I would have.

Great review. Have loved using this stick for a few years.

You should give the kailas clip up a try. Its a fraction the weight, and far less fiddly.

Hi, just wondered if you have you ever used this with your Edelrid Ohm?

[wailenhalen]

I can't wait to start using it for not only stick clipping the first bolt, but also for stick clipping entire routes that are too challenging for me to climb at the moment.

With this type of video, it would be good to explicitly say at the start of the video whether the video is in any way sponsored or compensated for, or if not (which seems to be the case here?) that the video is not compensated for and purchased with your own money. This is a good video, but it almost looks like an advertisment. If it is, that has to be stated, if it is not, then that makes the message of the video much more powerful.

For me this is not the best stick. Beta Evo is way better

[richardtaztaylor]

Never used one ( well not an official one) old clothes prop and some loose finger tape and much swearing ( a long time ago, don't sport climb because I have no friends lol). I fantastic design and well demonstrated too.
