Introducing the Stick Clip^TM, the tool for clipping beyond your reach.

The Complete Stick Clip (400) offers a climber a complete solution that can be adapted to provide the benefits of the Individual Stick Clip (300).  The Complete Stick Clip is a lightweight solution that, in addition to the Stick Clip,  Velcro and instructions, includes an Easton Aluminum pole, retriever cord and carrying bag.

Benefits:

• Avoid unprotected sections of a climb (such as from the ground to the first bolt) by securing your carabiner and rope from the ground
• Pre-hang quickdraws from the ground
• Extend your reach while aid or free climbing 
• Place your rope in a hanging quickdraw from a distance

Directions:

• Secure the Stick Clip to the pole as tightly as possible (if a bomb-proof fit isn't possible, a length of small diameter cord, threaded through the retrieval hole provided, can help to remove the Stick Clip from your protection.  Just pull down on the retrieval cord and the Stick Clip pops off)
• Place the top carabiner of a quickdraw between the two retaining arms and push the gate back until it remains locked open between the arms
• With your rope clipped into the bottom carabiner, use the pole to raise the Stick Clip  up to the bolt or piton
• Aim the nose of the carabiner into the protection.  Once the carabiner is secured in position, pull down on the pole or retrieval cord to remove the Stick Clip.  The carabiner will be left behind and snap shut around the fixed protection.  Do not climb unless the carabiner is completely shut around the bolt or piton.  
• Your rope should now be connected securely to the protection above and you are ready to climb!
