"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I used the Stick Clip Quickdraw on a runout first bolt at my local sport crag, and the auto-lock carabiner never left me second-guessing the clip. The captured eye design also kept everything oriented correctly even while fumbling with the stick from the ground.""That first bolt on a sport route can be the scariest part of the whole climb, and the Stick Clip Quickdraw from Metolius takes the guesswork out of it. Reach up with a stick clip, thread the rope through, and trust the setup to hold exactly as it should before a single foot leaves the ground. A double-action auto-lock carabiner secures the bolt end without a second thought, while a screw lock carabiner on the rope end keeps the rope end just as secure. Captured eye carabiners on both ends prevent off-axis loading, and every unit is individually proof-tested and CE/UIAA certified, so the only thing left to think about is the climb ahead."
