I've been using trekking poles for hiking for the last 5 years. Today I used them to get up E. Osceola and Osceola. When Cotton and myself hiked up the Chimney, we put our trekking poles on our packs, and we continued to the summit without them. Heading down Osceola, I decided not to use them for the whole descent. I felt much freedom on the descent without the poles. Being able to use my hands for the descent felt much better then placing poles before heading down.
I wanted to ask what others think about using trekking poles?
Use or not use?
