I have Leki poles and have threaded snow baskets for them. Since those poles suck I want to replace them and it would be very cool if I could use the snow baskets I already have. question_49700 Tue, 09 Dec 2008 00:44:58 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/store/BLD1009/Black-Diamond-Alpine-CF-Trekking-Poles-1-Pair.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_31566#question_31566 Black Diamond Alpine CF Trekking Poles - 1 Pair<br /><br />Is Carbon Fiber really worth it? question_31566 Mon, 03 Nov 2008 15:06:30 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/store/BLD1004/Black-Diamond-Spire-Contour-Trekking-Pole.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_16378#question_16378 Black Diamond Spire Contour Trekking Pole<br /><br />how do you make the pole open (extend) question_16378 Sun, 17 Aug 2008 06:31:28 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/store/BLD0322/Black-Diamond-Trail-Back-Trekking-Pole.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_16318#question_16318 Black Diamond Trail Back Trekking Pole<br /><br />what do they weigh? question_16318 Sat, 16 Aug 2008 12:33:41 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/store/BLD0881/Black-Diamond-Trail-Trekking-Poles-1-Pair.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_14732#question_14732 Black Diamond Trail Trekking Poles - 1 Pair<br /><br />What is the difference between this model and the Black Dmd Trail Back Trekking Poles that are 10$ cheaper (also available on backcountry.com)? question_14732 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 11:17:18 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/store/BLD0881/Black-Diamond-Trail-Trekking-Poles-1-Pair.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_11757#question_11757 Black Diamond Trail Trekking Poles - 1 Pair<br /><br />I just used the poles to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. They were great EXCEPT can someone tell me the secret of adjusting the straps? They were great in my bare hands but when I put on 2 pairs of gloves for the finally ascent I could not (nor could anyone else on the trek) figure out how to expand the straps. That was a serious hinderance on the way up. I have the compact size.
