WHY ARE POLES IMPORTANT FOR MOUNTAINEERING?
MMountaineering poles are important because there are many challenges in high alpine terrain. Whether snow, scree, ice, or mud, our poles provide you with stability and protect your joints and muscles. Whether uphill or downhill, they help you maintain your balance and stabilize your body. Using poles reduces the strain on your legs, helping to prevent fatigue and making longer tours more comfortable.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF FOLDING POLES IN HIGH ALPINE TERRAIN?
Folding poles have a much smaller pack size (approximately 40 cm) compared to regular mountaineering poles. You can easily stow them away in your backpack during climbing sections. Our folding poles are extremely reliable and easy to use, thanks to state-of-the-art technology. LEKI folding poles offer an excellent combination of compactness, lightness, versatility, and stability.
WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF A GRIP EXTENSION?
A grip extension gives you the ability to quickly change your grip in steep passages without having to adjust the length of the pole.
WHY LEKI POLES FOR MOUNTAINEERING?
Reinhold Messner and Peter Habeler were the first mountaineers to reach the summit of Mount Everest in 1978 without oxygen, but with LEKI poles. LEKI has since become a long-standing supplier for numerous mountaineering and hiking clubs, such as the German Alpine Club (DAV). This has given LEKI a unique pool of expertise, ensuring the continuous development of our mountaineering poles. Our poles are "Made in Europe" and impress with top quality, durability, and stability.
