WHY ARE POLES IMPORTANT IN MOUNTAINEERING?
Many dangers lurk in the high alpine terrain. Whether snow, scree, ice or mud, our poles give you a certain surefootedness and are easy on your joints and muscles. Uphill and downhill, they help you keep your balance and stabilise your body.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF FOLDING POLES?
Folding poles have a much smaller pack size (approx. 40 cm) than standard hiking poles. You can therefore easily stow them in your backpack for climbing passages. LEKI folding poles are extremely reliable and easy to use thanks to state-of-the-art technology.
WHICH GRIP SYSTEM IS THE RIGHT ONE?
The optimal grip ensures that the pole sits ideally in the hand when walking uphill. Most of our mountaineering poles are equipped with the Aergon. The edgeless grip head of the Aergon is ergonomically shaped and extremely comfortable. It also has an adjustable loop with safety release that can prevent injuries.
WHAT IS THE USE OF A GRIP EXTENSION?
A grip extension offers you the possibility to quickly change your grip in steep passages without having to adjust the pole length.
HOW DO I FIND THE RIGHT POLE LENGTH?
A rule of thumb says that the pole is the right length when it is placed vertically on the ground and your upper and lower arm form a 90° angle. If you are still unsure or would like to have the length calculated exactly, we also have a pole length advisor on our website. Simply enter your height and select the type of sport and you will find out the optimum length.
