Dynalock Ascent Poles

Quick to pack and light on their feet, the MSR Dynalock Ascent Poles are the perfect companions for steep skin tracks and snowy trails. Designed with backcountry skiing and snowshoe hiking in mind, they feature the ultralight strength of Kevlar-reinforced carbon, and they use MSR's Quick-deploy design when you want them stashed away. Adjustable by 20cm, DynaLock mechanisms use tool-free tensioning to guarantee that the poles stay at the length you choose. MSR equipped them with a comfortable foam grip—plus a lower grip for sidehilling—and included both summer and winter baskets for your year-round convenience.
