Black Diamond Expedition 3P Whippet Pole

The Expedition 3P Whippet Pole is the next iteration of the popular and one-of-a-kind Whippet from BD. This new version features an extended EVA foam grip, enabling easier choking up on the pole for sidehilling or steep climbing. The wrist straps are attached via a girth hitch and are easy to remove if you prefer strapless poles. The three-piece construction enables the pole to collapse down to a very small size, making it viable to carry on a pack for splitboarders. The whippet head is field-removable via a dial on the head, so you can store the pointy part out of the way when it's not needed. When attached, the whippet head turns your Expedition 3P pole into a fast and easy-to-use self-arrest device. Comparable to a standard ice axe, the "ski pole part" allows for more comfortable skiing with your arrest device in hand. The ergonomics of a ski pole with the arresting capabilities of an ice axe, the Expedition 3P Whippet Pole is the best of both worlds.

• Durable aluminum construction helps the pole stand up to use and abuse.
• Extended EVA grip allows for multiple hand positions to adapt your grip to the situation.
• Whippet head is made of steel and features a side wing to increase drag when arresting.
• Compatible with the Alpine Whippet Attachment for arresting in softer conditions.

* Please note that, unlike most poles, these are sold individually.
