i just took a long remote trip in the sw and it crossed my mind how much of a fucking retard one would have to be to regularly use trekking poles
any trails were a foot wide so if you had poles you would just have to smush them into the crypto? I imagine people do exactly that sadly. When there wasn't a trail it was dense brush, unless you were autistically using your poles somehow to brush it aside they would be useless. for a slope/rock scramble class 2-4 they are useless from what I could picture.
what is so damned hard about walking? I will give old timers a pass but if you're young and you use poles you're a fucking disgrace
