What's the name of that Trango thing? Report this Post Average: (0 ratings)	Can't Post

Does anyone remember that Trango draw that was helpful for shorter people? You could clip a bolt from below by pushing the device up onto the hanger ... I forget its name ... anyone?

I don't see any offerings by Trango that does what you are describing. The closest thing would be their stick clip device:

However, maybe you're thinking of the Kong Frog?

You are probably thinking of the Trango Squid:

Make your own stiffy by cutting a section of wire coat hanger and ducktaping it to the draw in such a way that it splints the dogbone to the top biner. Not only is it cheaper than a Frog, it extends your reach much farther.

I don't know about you, but usually anything that involves cutting and wires will not get me a stiffy.
