Saving Your Joints on the Long Road to the Summit
Trekking poles are not just 'walking sticks'. They are essential gear for an Everest trekking adventure, especially when carrying a heavy pack for your Mount Everest expedition.
On the long descent from Everest Base Camp, poles reduce the impact on your knees by 25%. This prevents the chronic pain that can slow down a Mount Everest expedition return leg.
Using your arms to help push you up the Namche hill saves leg energy. It’s an efficient way to move toward the Mount Everest summit view points without exhausting yourself too early.
The path to Everest Base Camp is often icy and uneven. Poles provide the extra balance needed to navigate the shifting rocks of the Khumbu Glacier safely during your Everest trekking journey.
If you don't use poles, you are working twice as hard. Make them a core part of your Mount Everest expedition gear list.
