Can these poles handle the cold temps on Denali or would aluminum be better? Some people have told me that carbon poles might crack at extreme low temps?

I would be more worried about the cork falling apart than the carbon breaking
Carbon will be stronger than aluminum in all cases. Its a woven network rather than an extruded metal so it will keep its flexibility even at low temps where aluminum would be brittle
