Backcountry Access Scepter

The hybrid design balances weight and durability. The carbon fiber upper section keeps the swing weight low for easier handling, while the 7075 aluminum lower section provides the strength needed to resist bending or snapping when you're navigating rocky or icy backcountry terrain.

The integrated utility hook is designed to help you adjust your backcountry bindings without having to bend over. It makes flipping heel risers or clearing snow out of your binding mechanism much easier while you're on the skin track.

Yes, it's a practical feature for steep ascents. When you need to 'choke up' on the pole to maintain balance on a sidehill or a steep switchback, the textured surface provides extra grip so your hand doesn't slide down the shaft.

The grip is shaped with a hard, durable edge that allows you to scrape ice and snow buildup off your ski skins or the tops of your skis. It’s a convenient way to keep your gear clean without needing to carry an extra tool.

The Scepter is a two-piece adjustable pole. This allows you to customize the length for different snow conditions or steepness, and it makes the poles easier to pack away when you're traveling or stowing them on your pack.
