trekking poles

Trail walking aids

Trekking poles are adjustable walking sticks used by hikers to improve balance and reduce strain on legs and knees, especially on uneven terrain or steep descents.

They typically come in pairs and feature handles, wrist straps, and carbide or rubber tips.

I wouldn't attempt that trail without my trekking poles.
