Guide Pick
"I CANNOT say enough good things about these poles. They feel like they are injected with helium - they are SO light. Unbelievably fast to deploy and stow, these poles pack down super small. I also love the attached pole baskets, which are perfect for many miles. The pole baskets are the perfect size for navigating rock, snow, and ice. Since we are often not in deep powder for the height of the season, you don’t need oversized baskets, and these poles strike the perfect balance." - Calvin Jiricko,, RMI Expeditions Guide

How Guide Pick™ Works
Step 1
The guides over at RMI collectively spend over 10,000+ days a year on the world's highest mountains, climbing hundreds of thousands of vertical feet. They put their gear and apparel through the wringer. This stuff is their work wear and they simply will not tolerate inferior gear.
Step 2
At the end of the climbing season, guides are given a survey to find out what gear they are using and why it is their favorite. We don’t often get complete agreement but we do get alignment and by looking at the data, a few clear winners rise to the top in each category.
Step 3
We take those winners, and stamp them with the Guide Pick™ logo on our site. We also compile this wonderful little document, which you can use to see top contenders, gear advice, Guide Quotes, and more.
