Designed for backcountry touring, the Black Diamond Expedition Ski Pole offers a balance of lightweight handling and durability. Its two-piece aluminum shaft construction withstands rugged terrain, while the FlickLock mechanisms permit quick pole-length adjustments for changing landscape. An integrated PH3 screwdriver bit aids in speedy field repairs without the need for a separate tool. Traverse varied landscapes with ease using the extended EVA foam grips and rely on the textured rubber grip beak for convenient ski binding adjustments. The pole also features straight-edge grip tops to scrape off accumulated snow from ski bases, girth-hitched wrist straps for personalized use, and 100mm powder baskets for support in deep snow.
