The BCA Scepter Adjustable Aluminum Ski Poles are a classic approach to practical backcountry touring poles. With 7075 aluminum and BCA's Concave Hex powder basket, these poles are designed to help you meet your next backcountry objective head-on. The Scraper grip has a useful utility hook that makes flipping your touring binding riser and boot buckles easier than ever. On the upper shaft, BCA has included spray-on grip texture so that when the slope steepens as you tour, your uphill hand can slide down the pole without sacrificing grip or stability.
