Choose a strong but lightweight trekking pole as part of your Mountain Climbing Gear. A trekking pole will help you keep your balance as you negotiate extremely steep slopes and uneven surfaces. With a trekking pole, you can also reduce pressure on the lower portion of your body, enhance your stability and breathing and help you save energy. But remember to have your ice axe during winter conditions. Your trekking pole cannot stop your fall on slopes covered by snow. When buying, choose a pole with a flexible wrist loop. This design enables your wrists to carry some of the load from your hands.
