Folkrm poles designed to not notice them when they are in your pack. These 2 stage adjustable carbon poles weigh in at an ultralight 218 grams, keeping your base weight down, so you don&';t have to feel guilty about bringing that extra pack of Sour Patch Kids on the up. With a stout 17 inch grip, the pole is adjustable to accommodate any length you&';d like to experience. This gives you the ability to continue to boot up things steep enough that you should probably be using an ice axe for anyways.
