BetaStick EVO Climb

A little short and flimsy

This is probably ok in places like Kalymnos (maybe) but in the U.K. you won’t get up many routes with it. It’s a handy little stick to have in your bag but I wish I had purchased the compact instead. I already have the standard, but the climb is about 2 inches shorter when closed and a good mtr or so longer when extended compared to the compact. It also feels like it won’t last long, I feel myself being really gentle with it with fear of breaking it. If you’re torn between this and the compact, buy the compact, If you’re after something super light weight and you go to well bolted crags you might get away with the climb. Rock and run fantastic service as always.

Sturdy construction with easy to use design
