Black Diamond poles saved my life.

Black Diamond Spire Elliptic Trekking Pole

Black Diamond Spire Elliptic Trekking Pole

Rating for this product: 5 April 27, 2007

Last summer the water was high in the Virgin River. Although my wife and I have completed such civilized hikes as the Camino de Santiago, we were new to long hikes in the backcountry. The Narrows are beautiful, but the steep walls left us confused about time of daylight left. We kept going too long. The light faded as we waded. My wife was swept away by the river and I pushed into the water after her. She made it to safety. I fetched against a rock and was being pulled under by water pressure on my pack. Black Diamond Contours allowed me to lever off without the poles slipping. Spires are stronger yet. And they don't boing as much. Great poles!
