User Description

I have climbed mountains for years without poles. Now that I own this set I wonder where my brain was! Using these have shown me that a climber can save energy and increase efficiency in climbing with poles. I love the flexibility of these poles. I am 6'3" and like the quick methods of making adjustments. These poles also break down and collapse down to a great packable size. By comparison to other poles my associates use, this set for the money stacks up very well.
