Can pretty much end the thread here. You may ask yourself is 1 bent piece of wire and some heat shrink wrapping worth $24. Yes, yes it is

100% agreed.

But you'll need a painter's pole with that. This one is the longest I could find and I couldn't be happier with the system.

Does it screw in clean without having to Jerry rig it?

It fits on the end of a standard painter's pole.

I want to spend more time on it. Just don’t want to break an ankle sport climbing lol

Yes! I dunno if there's some sort of standard for the threading, but the superclip seems to work on all the painter's poles I've come across, so I wouldn't worry about that. I'm only recommending the pole I linked because it is the longest I found. At Rumney I could clip the second clip on most routes no problem.

I'll hit you up when I get healed up.

I am a fan of the painters pole with the super clip as well. Benefit is you have a multi-tool painters pole. Works well when you decide you want to scrub some boulders, or paint your house.

Its also nice to hike in with because its essentially a walking stick if you have a heavy pack on.

The Kailas is specialized and only for climbing.

Sounds good.  Did they cut you?

I find the kailas one to be a bit on the light and flimsy side, one of the best features of the superclip is how easy it is to unclip draws even if the rope isn't attached to the draw. The kailas wire seems to be a bit on the wider and bendier side of things and makes it harder to do this.

I have my superclip on a 3-section Mr Longarm 6-18' (actual length 6.3'-17.3'):  Mr Longarm

Mr Longarm also makes a 3-section 8.2'-23.2' pole, but that wouldn't pack as well in my vehicle.

Here's a 4-section 6-24 if you really want the length: 6-24 paint pole

has a great pole. When collapsed, it's about the same length as your pack, and it extends to 12'. The camera tripod style flip locks are way better than twist-lock. The carabiner eye and the hook for catching the rope are very nice features. It has two principle drawbacks: It's expensive ($80), and retrieving a draw is possible but somewhat difficult.

That multi-angle tip looks like it would be great for taping a brush to for cleaning those low crux holds or boulders

yep. about a week out from it. Just sitting around bored. Maybe in another week i'll try some top ropes at the gym.

Another vote for superclip + ettore painter's pole from Lowe's. I think I only got the 9 foot pole instead of the 16. I've been able to easily clip the first bolt on all routes, sometimes the second.

I have both the Compact and Ultra Long. The Ultra Long is a bit wobbly when fully extended, but it extends to 21 feet and compacts to 3.7 feet

The Compact goes from 2 to 8 feet

I own the Superclip, used it for years, and I even own a ridiculous 30' painters pole for it in addition to my 18 footer. But the weight and small compacted size of the Betastick Evo makes me take it every time. It's so light that I even usually take it when planning to climb on gear, just in case there's a use for it

The Ultra Long has to be ordered from Europe, unless something has changed
