Good all around pole

I have used this pole for walking as a guide in the Tetons as well as on several expeditions around the world while snowboarding on the Seven Summits. They work well. One trick to longevity is to take them apart to dry after use, otherwise they get a bit sticky and can seize in the closed position, which is a bummer, especially if you are just beginning your long ski on split snowboard back to the parking lot after ripping a run with the poles on the pack. The two sets of baskets (powder and smaller) are really nice. I use them without baskets in the summer time. It is good to give them a good hard twist to help prevent collapsing. For a good all around pole, the LLGUL (long name...) is a great choice.
