"It’s custom head is far and away the best solution I’ve ever used" — Andrew Bisharat, Evening Sends
After years of using stick clips that wobbled, broke, and generally came up short, we designed the Spire Clip to be the best and longest-lasting stick clip you’ve ever used. The pole is carbon-fiber - making it light and super rigid - with aluminum locks that won’t break or slip.
But the Spire Clip is more than just a great pole; our custom, patent pending, head is specifically designed to clip your rope into hung draws, hang and remove draws, and keep a draw pre-clipped when pulling your rope. See it in action >
Spire Clip Features
Easily Clip a Hanging Draw - The Spire Clip allows you to clip your rope into a hung draw without tying a complicated knot or practicing for hours. Make a loop, drop it between the lower section of the prongs, and you're ready to clip. The head holds the loop so you can place it around the carabiner, then pull the lower strand to clip.
Durable and Rigid - The Spire Clip's pole is constructed from durable carbon fiber that won't bend or dent and its exceptional rigidity allows each section to be used without flexing or wobbling.
Aluminum Locks - Unlike plastic flip locks that wear out over time, our aluminum locks provide a secure, durable solution that won’t slip. A half turn of the collar takes each section from locked to unlocked.
Integrated Hook - Want to pull the rope but leave the first draw(s) clipped? The Spire Clip's hook helps you manage your rope with less shenanigans.
Lightweight - While durability was a big priority, we also wanted a stick clip that was light. At just over one pound, the Spire Clip is the lightest 10' stick clip around.
Long Extension - The Spire Clip comes up to 14" 8" and because the carbon fiber pole is super rigid and doesn’t wobble, you can actually use that entire length.
Removable End Cap - The bottom cap of the pole can be unscrewed, making it easy to rinse out any sand or dirt that gets into the pole.
Easily Hang and Remove Draws - And of course, the Spire Clip easily hangs and removes draws.
Head Only Version - The bring your own pole version of the Spire Clip. The Head Only version screws onto a standard painters pole thread and optionally secures with a set screw (hex wrench included)

The last stick clip I’ll probably ever need to buy! Love that you can remove a quickdraw from the bolt without needing to faff around and pinch the gate with the rope!
As other reviews say, this clip is da bomb. Versatile and easy to use, light and stiff. Couple that with a company that is local and run by core climbers who contribute heavily to the sport, and amazing customer service, and you should find there is no reason to buy any other brand of stick clip.
If you're looking for a sturdy a clip to go bolt to bolt this is it
Ive been using other stick clips to set a fixed lines for TR soloing and every other option either bent, was much heavier, or would be so massive it would stick out of the pack by like 2 ft (or be a total nuisance to unfurl at the crag… modded avi pro users hint hint)
Love thats its carbon fiber and can accommodate the bulkier steel carabiners for the first anchor bolt
Great work guys!
This stick solves all of the problems with other stick clips:
1) It's super stiff, even with a ton of rope weight
2) It's light enough that it's not obtrusive if you bring it with you on your harness while climbing a route to clip up.
3) The redesigned head is actually a surprisingly nice upgrade from a superclip and makes putting a rope in a permadraw and cleaning a pre-hung draw easily twice as fast as with a superclip.
Finally, service and support excellent.
It's expensive but IMO easily the best stick on the market. Given how quickly most stick clips bend and break (looking at you, Trango Beta stick), I think it's arguably cheaper to buy this thing than buy a new stick every few years.
After only a few weeks Im convinced the Spire Clip is the best new piece of gear in my kit. Only recently after breaking one the competitions (expensive and clearly fragile) clips after only 5 uses I had found myself at the crag wondering why there wasn't an actually quality clip on the market, specifically designed for climbers who put the work in on their gear but also want it sleek.
The Spire Clip is the one. Protects you from the ground and attaches easily while climbing, without any annoyance.
I also consider any well designed piece of gear to be intuitive with its use. I recently used the Spire Clip to teach novice climbers both the risk management capabilities of clip use but also the freedom to move up the wall on hard projects and everyone found the Spire Clip to be the easiest and most satisfying to use.
With that... and the Spire Clip.. Im headed to the crag now.
Spire Clip 101
Clipping the Rope
Make a loop in the rope and place the two strands into the notched section of the prongs. The lower strand should rest in the hook on the back. Fit the loop around the carabiner and pull the lower strand to clip. If the Spire Clip remains on the rope just pull it off while holding both stands of the rope.
Hanging a Draw
Place the carabiner between the two prongs of the head so the gate is held open. Place the nose of the carabiner into the bolt and pull down to release
Keeping a Draw Pre-Clipped
Using the hook side of the head, grab the rope above the draw you want and pull.
PRO-TIP - This works best if done as the rope is falling through the draws above. Time it just right and you won't have much extra rope on the climbers side to pull through.
Retrieving a Draw
Fish one prong of the head into the carbiner so that the gate clips into the upper notch (where you place the rope to clip a draw). While gently pulling out so the carabiner lays horizontal, rotate the pole to open the gate. Keep rotating to free the carabiner.
This can take a little practice to get dialed. Alternatively you can clip your rope to the draw, then while pulling down on both sides push the end of the Spire Clip over the carabiner to open the gate. You will end up with the same setup as when hanging a draw and you can simply lift the draw off.
