Black Diamond Adjustable Carbon Probe Ski Poles 2012: One tool for two jobs, the Black Diamond Carbon Probe features a carbon fiber lower that works in tandem to create a 182 cm avalanche probe, making it the ideal multi-function backcountry pole. The Black Diamond Adjustable Carbon Ski Pole's FlickLock adjustability helps you dial in the proper length, while the Power Series grip features a softer palm area and a more aggressive hooking point for leveraging boot buckles and heel bars.
