Due to the other thread, and on my last trip breaking my POS stick clip I want to see how you made yours or what your using for one. pixs of you also using it if you have the stones to get a bashing on here.

But that's quite a cheater stick:

I use an extendable painter's pole. Don't have pics, though.

yeah, just a 12 ft. 2 pc. painters pole with a screw on squid device on the end. Covered in climbing stickers. Makes more of a great hiking pole for the knees on the downhill trails encountered heading to the crags. No pics of it in use though...are we looking for the most artistic or creative stick in this posting??

what you got on the end I had some bad hose clamps on a junk clamp.

sounds like a fine pole, we are looking for just pixs in general I had no goals.

no pics of me using it, although I could care less if someone saw me do so!

I have this: supercliprescue.com/supercl… much better than the trango squid which is fragile, yet can still unclip biners if you leave the rope in it.

I put it on a strong-long painters pole from the hardware store, cost $40, but I've had it for over 3 years with zero issues.

The pole they sell on the link above is garbage, my friends have gone through a couple a season, until they buy the slightly more expensive painters pole.

A friend told me it's not something to be proud of...

But mine is a Home Depot variety:

Spring Clamp + MR. Long Arm Painter Pole clamped together with a pipe clamp. Works very well with Spirit draws.

+1. I've found that a spring clamp and spirit or BD biner fit together perfectly. I duct taped over the hose clamps to keep the sharp edges safe.

This setup is awesome. You'd think that superclip accessory would be on sale at every climbing department, works great. They need better sales/marketing.

The proper term for ascending a route via stick-clipping is Fraiding, Got that from Mabe. Get it? Free/aid; afraid.
I know of someone who mastered placing nuts with a stick clip too.

I use a 3 piece 12' lightbulb changer with a clamp on the end, fastened with hose clamps. Duct tape on the hose clamps is good beta and makes it less bitey. I got the idea from a friend, who I also learned the stick clip fu from. He customized his with a piece of wooden dowel in the last extension of the pole, giving him 16' of sport wanking pleasure. It also doubles a walking stick, and with the clamp on the end works great as a guide book holder too.

I use a stick. I break off the end to make a small fork. I use a twig to hold the biner gate open.
