Black Diamond Contour Elliptic Carbon Trekking Pole
Excellent Choice

Ranked #246 - Trekking Poles

While looking for poles for mountaineering I realized I could spend $100 and get some decent poles, or just spend the extra $60 and get the best of the best. I have not used any other type so I cannot comment on comparison, but these worked great for me on their test run to Muir on Rainier. Without them I would not have been able to ascend the snow fields. These are very strong. I am over 210 lbs. and they were able to support my weight from falling on a few backcountry trails.
I highly recommend these poles for anyone considering buying.
