Spire And The Grand Canyon

Ranked #390 - Trekking Poles
February 28, 2008
Living in Hawaii and new to backpacking; my goal was to backpack into the Grand Canyon and stay at Phantom Ranch. Researched the Grand Canyon and backpacking equipment and selected Black Diamond Spire Trekking Poles with the flintlock and binary locking system. Spire compared to other trekking poles is far superior with it solid feel when used on those switchbacks (Devils Screw), great for crossing streams and life saver on the ice and snow.
