These poles are great for steep terrain. I used these in the thickest deadfall I’ve seen in Montana, some fairly steep country, and in rainy conditions on the mountain. In deadfall, it was great to have something with a quiet rubber and to provide balance while walking logs or easing over a downed tree. In steep terrain, very helpful, especially when loaded down. Even used the poles to make a clothes line to dry out pants and shirts in the backcountry. Didn’t use them for every step of the trip, but it’s definitely something that I’d prefer to have and not need, than to need and not have.

If you’re looking for a really great trekking pole, this is for you. The backcountry pro poles are lightweight yet very strong and easily adjustable to fit your height perfectly. The hand grip is also well-designed with a large diameter grip, to maintain a secure, solid feel while in off-balance situations.
These are a five star product and I would recommend them to anyone for use on less difficult mild trail walking, to the most challenging, backcountry terrain out there.

These bad boys are an absolute necessity item on an all terrain elk hunt! Without these I don’t know if my knees could of made it through some of the extreme areas!

Light weight and sturdy, must have!

Perfect product. I’ve had 5 surgeries done on my lower back, and these sticks keep me on the mountain. Couldn’t recommend enough.
