Features
Built for steep terrain that demands extra traction, the two-piece Carbon Whippet is the ultimate ski mountaineering tool. With its removable steel pick, the Whippet adds security for steep, icy bootpacks and no-fall descents, and can transition into an adjustable ski pole for backcountry turns.
The latest evolution of our legendary Whippet, this two-piece pole features a removable steel pick, giving you extra traction on steep, high-consequence terrain. By using the ClickLock dial, you can release the pick and descend moderate slopes with a lightweight, yet rugged two-piece pole. The pole features a carbon fiber lower with an aluminum upper and our upgraded FlickLock Pro adjustment, which is now lighter, stronger and easier to use, with a more durable, forged aluminum construction.

AI FAQs
AI generated FAQs about the Carbon Whippet Pole
Will these poles work for the kind of skiing I do?
These poles are built for ski mountaineering and backcountry skiing on steep, icy terrain. The removable steel pick adds security for steep bootpacks and no-fall descents, while the pole transitions to ski mode for backcountry turns.
Can I adjust or remove these poles for climbing up?
You can adjust the pole from 99 to 140 cm with FlickLock Pro and remove the steel pick with the ClickLock Dial. The pick provides extra traction for steep, icy bootpacks, and removing it converts the Whippet to a lightweight two-piece pole for moderate descents.
How do I know what length to get?
The Carbon Whippet adjusts from 99 to 140 cm. You can set its FlickLock Pro adjustment within that range for climbing, bootpacking, and backcountry skiing.
How much do these poles weigh compared to my current setup?
The poles weigh 886 g or 2 lb per pair. That works out to 443 g or 0.98 lb for each pole with its pick, giving you a clear figure to compare with your current setup.
Do these fit in my ski bag or pack without getting in the way?
These two-piece telescoping poles collapse to 99 cm or 40 inches. Use that packed length to determine whether they fit your specific ski bag or pack.
How do these poles help when I'm going uphill?
The removable steel pick gives you extra traction and security on steep, icy bootpacks. This makes the Carbon Whippet a technical tool for ski-mountaineering approaches where secure placements matter.
Do these fold or collapse to make climbing easier?
These are two-piece telescoping poles that collapse to 99 cm or 40 inches rather than folding. They adjust from 99 to 140 cm with FlickLock Pro for varied touring and skiing terrain.
Do I get replacement baskets, or just the poles?
Each Carbon Whippet is sold individually and has an indexed three-quarter powder basket. The supplied pole includes this basket as a feature for powder use.
