The following is the normal operation method of using climbing sticks in general, but it is not the only way. You can make a little adjustment in actual operation to find a suitable way, so as to make full use of the benefits of climbing sticks.
The flat and gentle ascent takes the same rhythm as normal walking. The right arm moves forward with the left foot and takes the Climbing Stick forward at the same time, but the tip of the stick should not exceed the front of the body, and then push back against the ground. The left hand and the right hand interact to do the same action.
The inclined steep slope action is the same as normal walking, but the arm should move forward, put the position of the climbing stick in front of the body, and use the climbing stick to support the body up to reduce the pressure on the legs. If necessary, use two climbing sticks at the same time to climb. When pushing the body up, put the palm on the top of the stick to strengthen the pushing force.
When going downhill, because the impact is relatively large, it is necessary to use climbing sticks to reduce the load on the legs; The position of the Climbing Stick must be placed in front of the body, and the effect of sharing power can be achieved by landing first than the front foot. At this time, the body must tilt forward. This action is not a natural action for us to go downhill. Therefore, we should often practice and feel how far the climbing stick should be placed at the same time, so as to achieve the effect of reducing the pressure on the legs, and will not slow down the original speed and rhythm of travel. When necessary, you can lengthen the length of the climbing stick according to your personal feelings.
