Yo Cody. What ski poles these?

[margotron]

They’re not Salomon unless I’m mistaken.

Someone told him to get a grip and he did. twice.

[wicked_sick]

If you don't know what poles these are you clearly can't handle them.

[wicked_sick]

Your poles are fine. I guarantee these are nowhere near as impressive in real life. Fisheye lens + small hands = LIES

Truth bruh. My poles is 90s gauntlet handles / 2010s adjusatables. I cant handle it

Ribbed for your pleasure

Black Crows. All the cool kids use them until they need to replace the basket

edit: looked again and those are not Black Crow poles my bad eye

[nickbokhoven]

If the are not the Black Crows, there is a good chance they are the A2-16 also out of Chamonix

Pretty sure the grips are just pipe insulation with zip ties around it. He posted an up close picture on his story a couple weeks ago. Some real ingenuity right there!

[XXX-er]

I toured with a guy that had golf club grip on his poles looked pretty cool

[Hugh Jaynus]

I thought I saw him comment they are Salomon poles, maybe an alpine version of this pole: Salomon Sense Ultra Foldable

Edit: More pictures are making me think I’m full of shit

[babybear]

those are what all the cool guys in chamonix etc use those a216’s

they do look handy for steep ski touring though

No, different shape handle.

They look like my pals Solomon handle but with something added below.

Just bought a pair of these which are pretty similar: https://www.bergzeit.co.uk/grivel-tr...RoCzsEQAvD_BwE

They're very yellow though!

[hutash]

OMG, I'm using the wrong poles...no wonder I ski like shit. All it takes are poles like that to ski like Cody, right?

Maybe he should be using my poles then...

[whitenab]

A better view of the poles from Ming Poon's instastory. These seem to be the nicer/more carefully done version of the ziptie ones in the video below.

Also, glad to see his mom still labels his lunch.

haha, nice

That's definitely handlebar grip tape.

[cyborg]

That's definitely handlebar grip tape.

I thought that too but I think it's pipe insulation with zip ties. Bar tape would be fun to try, though. You could do a layer of cork tape and then a layer of something grippy, like lizard skins or supacaz, on top. Might be mint. Might also be a waste of time and money and you'd wish you'd just bought pipe insulation haha

if that is insulation/zip ties that's a pretty sweet pole mod and I am definitely gonna copy it. I've been using climbing tape wrapped over some ~3mm cord wound round the pole and it's functional but not ideal

[teledad]

Mastic tape works well for stuff like this. Grippy and weather proof.

[troyDHz]

Noob question here, is the purpose of the grip tape/pipe insulation/bar tape for ascending without collapsible poles? I like the idea.

[XXX-er]

Bar tape would be fun to try, though.

I re-used the grip tape off my road bike^^ the tape only gets worn on one edge cuz the other edge is covered by the overlap so you can take it off the bars and reuse it by wrap it on the pole bottom to top with the unused side showing, secure with electrical tape

the reason for wrapping bottom to top is so that when you are gripping/ pulling down on the pole you don't wreck the tape

I put that Cannondale cork tape on the BD flicklock pole several years ago

Heard the same note about Black Crows poles from diff people.
Are they really so terrible? Standart BD-baskets won't fit?
