TRANGO Beta Stick EVO Compact - Adjustable Climbing Stick for Bolt Clipping

Meet the redesigned EVO: stronger, smarter, more compact

The Trango Beta Stick EVO Compact redefines bolt clipping on sport routes with a focus on reliability, balance, and ease of use. Built to travel light without sacrificing strength, the EVO compacts what you need into a tool you can reach quickly on the wall.

Reach your next bolt with four distinct sizes. The Climb length collapses to 18 inches and extends to 5 feet; the Compact collapses to 21.5 inches and extends to 8 feet; Standard collapses to 29 inches and extends to 12 feet; Ultra collapses to 44 inches and extends to 22 feet. This range lets you choose a setup that matches your route and your comfort level, whether you’re clipping on crimp holds or a more exposed line.

Clip with confidence. The EVO’s redesigned head grips your carabiner and can hold the gate open with an adjustable wire arm. It works with both solid and wire-gate carabiners, so you can pair it with gear you already own. A secure head reduces the fiddling that can slow you down on busy belays or sustained sections of a climb.

Rope management made simple. The head includes a lasso loop to help guide and clip your rope as you move from bolt to bolt. Clip the EVO to your harness and carry it through the climb, knowing you can connect and move with a single, deliberate motion rather than juggling gear mid-route.

New details that matter. The EVO introduces snaplocks for easier adjustment and stronger pole performance, so you can fine-tune length on the fly. An integrated pole channel keeps the head from spinning as you swing between holds, which translates to steadier movement and fewer resets on tricky sections.

Why climbers might choose the EVO

• Four reach options let you pick a length that fits your route profile and comfort zone.
• A head designed to accommodate different carabiners reduces setup time and gear swaps.
• The lasso rope loop supports smoother rope passage and transition between bolts.
• Integrated safeguards against head spin provide steadier clipping and roping performance.

• Lightweight, stronger construction that travels with you from gym walls to alpine routes.
• Adjustable features that can adapt as your route demands change throughout a day of climbing.
• Practical design choices aimed at improving efficiency without compromising safety or reliability.

Keep in mind that results depend on use, route conditions, and your technique. The EVO is designed to provide flexibility and reliability; it offers possibilities that may improve efficiency and reduce the time spent clipping and roping on the wall.

Practical on-wall benefits

For many climbers, the EVO’s range enables smoother transitions between clips, especially on longer routes where reaching bolts can vary. Carrying a single, multi-use stick reduces gear juggling and can speed setup times without overloading your pack.
