Shoot off the poles, i put one of those Quick-stix adapters on my poles, works great!

I got a pair of Blencathra poles from Mountain w/house that I hike and trail run with. They're a combo of folding and telescopic. They've taken a hammering and held up great, which I think has justified the weight penalty of being aluminium rather than carbon. It's like engaging 4x4 when using them.

Macpac have a sale on poles at present

#1 for carbon trekking poles. Have a pair of S&S Archery MTN trekking poles, 178g per pole. Discontinued, so I really look after them. They have twist locks which I definitely prefer. I don't put heavy load pressure on them. Have an alternate strategy for bush stalking spots that require a climb, leave a cut walking pole at strategic spots. Never walk past a lancewood pole left at the start of a track!

I'm bloody rough on gear. I can't get more than a trip or 2 out of carbon poles, especially the macpac ones there absolute crap.
Had some high end leki poles also shit out.
Can't recommend these enough

If anyone could bust shit up it would be you. Rougher than a fucking wood file.
I think it was you that recommended to me the Black Diamond Alpine Carbons. Well mine are still going strong even when I think I'm being rough. The hand loop does help a lot to propel me along. I don't stop anywhere as much as I used to as I feel I have more stamina with the poles. The tungsten tips will grip nearly anything which I certainly reccomend as something to look for.
