ICON™ X20 Climbing Sticks

These sticks bite in the tree great and I have plenty of room with my feet when climbing I wear a size 10 mens

I consider myself a gear junkie and these are the best sticks ive ever used. You can tell they thought of the finer details in the design, love them

Weight and packability are the two most important features for me — and these sticks deliver on both. They’re super light, and the telescoping design means they pack down small and tight. The magnetic tabs keep them together when stacking or packing in, which makes setup and transport simple and silent.

The cork shaft is another added touch — it eliminates incidental metal-on-metal noise, so there’s no need for silencing tape. They grip the tree extremely well with no slip.

If I could change one thing.....maybe I’d prefer an amsteel attachment over rope, but honestly, I’ve had no issues with the current setup — so it’s not really a complaint.

One of my sticks did arrive with a small section of cork gouged and peeling, but a quick patch with stealth tape fixed it up easily.

I’m not sure these are the perfect climbing sticks — but I haven’t found anything better, that’s for sure.

For reference, I’m running the Sub2 platform, the Adventure Pack, and two X20 sticks with three-step amsteel aiders (not their product) — and that setup gets me about 15 feet up comfortably.

Un real quality on these sticks. Excited to put them to work this season!

Best climbing stick I have ever used
