Tips & Warnings
Store the trekking poles with the locking mechanism loosened to prevent freezing of the lock, and to avoid possible damage.
Only hike on difficult terrain if you've acquired adequate experience. Trekking poles can aid in support and stability, but they do not replace valuable experience.
