Choosing Poles
Trekking Pole vs Hiking Pole
Trekking Poles:
-
Similar to Ski Poles: Trekking poles are similar to ski poles but are intended primarily for hiking and trekking. They often have hiking-specific features such as adjustable lengths, ergonomic grips, and wrist straps for improved handling.
-
Used in Pairs: Trekking poles are typically worn in pairs to give balanced support on both sides of the body, so distributing weight equally and reducing strain on knees and legs, particularly while carrying a backpack.
-
Versatile: The use of two poles provides increased stability and is especially useful on uneven terrain, steep descents, and while crossing streams.
Alpenstock or Hiking Staff (Hiking Stick):
-
Alpenstock: A single trekking pole, traditionally used for mountaineering and hiking to aid stability and balance over rough or steep terrain. It's chosen for its simplicity, effectiveness, and lightweight design, making it essential for seasoned hikers and climbers alike.
-
Single Pole: A hiking staff is a single pole that is commonly chosen due to its simplicity. It provides support and balance, especially over somewhat uneven terrain.
-
Simplicity and Tradition: Some hikers prefer a hiking staff because of its classic appearance or the ease of using a single pole. It can also be used for sweeping away foliage or as a monopod for photography.
-
Versatility and Preference: The decision between a hiking staff and trekking poles is generally based on personal preference, the nature of the terrain, and the hiker's individual demands.
Choice and Utility:
While most hikers and trekkers prefer the balanced assistance of two trekking poles, particularly for difficult terrain or long distances, some may choose a hiking staff for its simplicity or for hikes requiring less support. The hiker's physical condition, personal comfort with the gear, and the sort of hiking activity are all factors that can impact the decision.
The use of trekking poles or a hiking staff can considerably improve the hiking experience by adding stability, decreasing impact on the body, and even increasing hiking speed by using the upper body.
