Why We Like The Beta Stick Evo
The first piece of beta is to clip the first high bolt with Trango's Beta Stick Evo so you don't spend the rest of the season nursing broken ankles. Unlike most stick clips, the Beta Stick Evo can actually clip both straight and wire gate carabiners for a solid performance no matter what draws you're using. The telescoping design collapses for easier transport. The new snap lock clamps stronger than the previous model for easier adjustments between wires and straight gates.

Happy with the Compact
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- Compact
I agonized over the tradeoff between the length and the portability and finally decided to get the compact. So far, I haven't been let down on two trips. Even though the compact model is only 8 feet long, I've been able to get to all the first bolts I've needed to (so far) and have been able to clip through hard sections of two routes (OMG, I've become THAT person...) But at least it let me get to the top so I could retrieve my draws! highly recommend, especially if you can hold out for a 20% off sale.

Great Functionality

Easier to use then the squid or other stick clips I have used in the past. It was quick to learn the methods for clipping, unclipping, and hanging ropes. Love the extension method, which is much quicker than the twisting painter poles. Use it with wire gate carabiners Can't recommend enough

This is the first stick clip I have owned. I have used a number of scratch built one and a Squid before and I must say I really prefer this. The other reviewer mentioned its flimsy at full extension and that is certainly true, though in most situations I don't have to put it to full extension so it hasn't been a major issue for me. Unlike the previous reviewer I have not had an issue using the gate opening feature and a friend who also owns this has had no trouble. My go to quickdraw is the Positron by Black Diamond, so same carabiner on the bolt side. Doing any of the extra actions (rope to an existing draw, removing a draw, etc) all take practice. The only things that is really straight forward is clipping in a draw. I took mine to my local gym and they let me play around with it there. After a few tries of each I got it down. Overall I am really happy with it!
