With almost two times the fore and aft stiffness of any pole on the market, the Black Diamond Spire Elliptic- Compact Trekking Poles give unrelenting support on technical climbs and descents. Its elliptic shaft is non-rotating, offering immediate spring pin engagement with the Auto Lock Binary system, and the low-finger-pressure, high-locking-force Elliptic FlickLock allows simple mid-stride adjustments. The Spire Elliptic is built with a 15 corrective angle that keeps the wrist in a neutral position, a new streamlined dual-density top grip for control, a non-slip foam grip with lower extension for choking up on steeper terrain and 360 padded webbing. The Spire Elliptic is equipped with a Short Flex Tip and a non-snagging, low-profile trekking basket. The Elliptic Compact is a shorter, 125 centimeter version with a reduced grip size for smaller hands.
