Stick clip

A stick clip is a tool used in lead climbing and sports climbing to pre-clip the first bolt or quickdraw on a route. It consists of a long stick or pole with an attachment that holds a carabiner or quickdraw. Climbers use it to safely clip the rope into the first anchor before starting the climb, reducing the risk of ground falls.
