I usually just use one whippet and one regular pole on a really steep and exposed ski mountaineering
descent in spring conditions.Gives me a little more confidence on the no fall zones.
Just get rid if the half basket it pulls your arm a bit when pole plant..Also
backs up as a descent axe for snow climbing.
