As the slope got steeper, then we saw a distinct difference in terms of both men and women tended to use the poles, did much better in terms of un-weighting, especially men, lessened the forces really well. Women didn&#8217;t un-weight so much, but seemed to use the poles as a balance factor. Then at the steepest slope, when we got them at twenty five degrees, then everybody used the poles much better in terms of being able to un-weight or being able to lessen those forces on their joints. And two poles was still better than one pole, but one pole is still better than no poles. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Steve also links to a fine site for finding pole tips:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.adventurebuddies.net\/\"> AdventureBuddies.net<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wildebeat wraps up its reports on hiking poles.
