Product Description Product Description
Black Diamond used carbon fiber material to reduce the Alpine CF Trekking Poles' weight to a ridiculously low 17 ounces. The carbon fiber also reduces vibrations on the trail for less fatigue while you hike. Black Diamond used a combination of FlickLock and Binary adjustment systems to ensure the Alpine CF Trekking Poles adjust easily and stay solid no matter how wet, icy, dirty, or dusty they get.

Voted 5/5 | I've taken these poles over varying hard rock use, (being as adjustable as they are, the angle of accent or decent doesn't matter!), to sand use and using in water to cross deeper streams. Their weight is awesome for carrying, and they are incredibly strong, and have yet to break after over 40+ miles of different types of climbing. I'm 5' 8" and my 6' 2" grandfather had no problem using on the way to Black Mesa, OK. I have recently used them up Crazy Peak MT, and they save the knees so much on the decent. Are about $130 but I would say worth it all, especially if you carry them on accent while using an ice axe. Worth every penny in my opinion.
