Why use Trekking poles?
Trekking poles have become very popular with hikers, hill-walkers
and technical mountaineers. When used properly, they can aid in
balance and overall walking efficiency.
How to use them:
Firstly it is recommended that you use two poles and not just one
to walk with. The reason for this is that if used singularly and
especially while wearing a backpack, an imbalance in the shoulder
muscles occur which can cause pain and cramping.
