    Question (about walking poles) for older walkers

    Thanks, everyone. I, too, only see the utility of poles on steep ascents and descents, but had the idea that a lot of people us them all the time. Yesterday I walked up a steep, icy bluff and was truly grateful for them! I probably was gripping too hard, as they were truly keeping me from falling.

    Question (about walking poles) for older walkers

    Wow. Thanks. Wish I had known about these before. I'll try to find a way to make my poles work for me, but if they don't, it's nice to know there is an alternative.

    Question (about walking poles) for older walkers

    Do any of you have trouble with trekking poles exacerbating arthritis in your hands? I really want to use them, but a couple of joints are already arguing with me after only a couple of days of use. I'd appreciate knowing how you handle it.
