I've been lusting after one of these since they came out! Gotta keep saving those pennies.

In reply to UKC Gear:

Very good. Haven't read a review from start to finish in a long time. Hope the product and the pongoose team are a success.

In reply to UKC Gear:

As a clipstick manufacturer myself I have to say this looks great and works a charm.

Rob, to appease my inner geek - are the ‘clipping the rope in’ photos on Max Wall?

Guy, you beauty - it is indeed

Whilst I don't have a prize, I'll try and think of a suitable reward next time I see you. On that note, I'm hoping to head south for some bouldering on the rough stuff - if you're around/about/don't mind shedding skin in vast quantities then it'd be great to see you. If you do, maybe meet at The Rugglestone afterwards!

Hi All,

For those interested I've just updated the following review to include Pongoose's latest offering, the Climber 1000+.

Given that my only real criticism of the original was that it wasn't available in a longer length - and now there is a longer length - it potentially makes the 1000+ the 'perfect pole'. 

If anyone has any questions fire them across
