The Backcountry Access Scepter Adjustable Carbon Aluminium Poles are BCA's stiffest adjustable ski touring poles. The Backcountry Access Scraper Grip is designed to be secure and comfortable while keeping your skis snow-free. Subtly on the grip, you will find the utility hook which makes for an effective binding and boot adjustment while on your excursion - a small yet very functional detail. Carbon lower + 7075 aluminum upper shaft with a sprayed-on grip texture coating makes for the lightest choke-up grip possible. This keeps you from dragging extra weight up the mountain and saves your legs for what matters most.
