Intro

The name says it all. This pole is here to shake things up. It sports an 18-millimeter aluminum shaft with a very long one-piece, EVA-foam elongated grip with ergonomic ridges, paired with a simple cord for a wrist strap that detaches for safety when pulled upwards and locks in place when pulled downwards. We'll need to see how the plastic piece that attaches it to the handle holds up over time and under changes in temperature. The basket shifts from asymmetrical (for the ascent) to symmetrical (for the descent). For purists and steep freaks who like a bit of anarchy and love to be noticed.
