Stick clip that works with Petzl Ange biners?

Is anyone aware of a stick clip that works with Petzl Ange biners, the *small* ones in particular? Or a cool hack to make it happen? I've thought about trying to mangle a Beta Stick spring in some way. Even if that worked, my Beta is on its last legs and I don't know I'd want another in general. I've never used any of the other options on the market.

I do have other draws so this is rarely an issue, but it would be nice to have a stick clip that I could use with everything. Thanks! 

The trango squid works with the large ones. Haven’t tried the small. 

Get a superclip.

I just checked my Pongoose with the small. Not a ton of room so it may be a bit tricky to clip, but it does fit. Pongoose works decent, it can be a bit finicky to remove draws but it does work.

Does it leave enough clearance with a small biner like the ange or Nano to actually make it onto a bolt? The only time I've used a Superclip was with normal sized biners and it rocks in general. I was under the impression a small biner wouldn't work, and the Ange gate might be too unstable as well.

Thank you so much for trying! It makes sense there's not a ton of room left. Appreciate the feedback.

Superclip works fine with a BD MiniWire

In my experience, yes.

The Kailas clip is very similar and packs down well into a carry-on.

If you do the super clip, there’s that one place in…I wanna say Oregon? That has a good stick with it. Otherwise, the actual stick parts available mostly suck. I searched a lot for a good stick and came up with nothing when my old stick broke.

The Kailas I’ve now gotten some experience with, and I wouldn’t recommend it for most people. It does pack down really small, but it’s also really short and often wasn’t tall enough to even reach the first bolt, especially with how much it flexed. And it is very flimsy - the build quality on it isn’t good. The only people I would recommend it to are: 1) someone that flies to climbing spots almost exclusively or other scenarios where space is extremely limited or 2) you just want a little extra supplemental stick clip.

It's also good for clipping your way up a route, not that I would ever do that, of course.

This is what you’re thinking of, https://mountaindrifter.com/products/the-skyhook-stick-clip , looks good but availability isn’t great.

Superclip + gripclip (3d printed thread adapter on aluminum clamp) + trekking poles lashed together with voile straps works well for me.

My super clip works with the fs mini my smallest biner just fine. Also works with my BD hms my biggest. Would be hard to remove with the HMS though given the force required to insert.

Superclip with little Ange. It slips down into the clip a lot, but it works. I've done it a lot.

Superclip on a big Ange.

It could also be the Redpoint stick clip (located by Smith Rock, OR). The Redpoint one is really nice.  I have the Trango Beta as well, and the Redpoint is definitely much more solid.

You can use a tiny chip of rock as a wedge to hold the gate open. Def harder with the ange biners but doable

Amazing! Thanks for taking the time to snap those photos and post.

Looks like a Redpoint smith stick is likely the one in my future...
