Great poles - Black Diamond Trail Cork Trekking Poles

Second set of Black Diamond poles. These replaced Black Diamond Trail poles (non-cork grip) that had over 1000 miles on them. Rugged and relatively lightweight. They've been through steep snow, ice, talus fields and after much use (abuse) the lower sections bent. Not a distance thru-hiker, but need a rugged dependable pole that won't bend or snap easily and these do that. I also like that Black Diamond sells replacement parts for these poles (tips and shaft segments).
