Explore this buying guide ↗Why consider this model?
- Compare the Ascent if the target is a compact-folding, external-lever carbon pole with EVA grips and winter plus summer baskets listed, and one exact size plan reaches the setting you have measured. Its manufacturer-described use is winter/backcountry travel, not a blanket claim of fit for every trail or climber.
Tradeoffs to weigh
- Small and Large differ in both reach and folded length: Small stops at 120 cm and folds to 36.2 cm; Large reaches 140 cm and folds to 44.5 cm. The listed weights have no stated per-pole/per-pair basis, and package quantity is not confirmed in the reviewed page text.
