A stick clip is so helpful when you just start sport climbing outdoors. You can start with the first bolt clipped... and if you're climbing near your limit, you can bring the stick clip up to clip bolts above you, so you don't need to leave anything behind if you can't get to the chains.

I stick clip pretty much every route I climb so this thing comes in handy quite a lot. It collapses down to 36" and extends all the way to 12'. It is super sturdy.
