Use And Operation Of Climbing Stick
1. Adjustment length
Generally, there are two sections of a three section mountaineering stick that can be adjusted. First, loosen all the joints of the mountaineering stick. Extend the supporting rod near the bottom to the maximum limit length, and there are scales on the climbing stick for reference. Hold the climbing stick and stand on the plane to adjust the length of the climbing stick. The arm naturally hangs down. Take the elbow as the fulcrum, and lift the forearm up to the heel to form a 90 degree arm., Then adjust the tip of the Climbing Stick downward to contact the ground; Or put the head of the climbing stick under the armpit for 5-8 cm, and then adjust the tip of the stick downward until it touches the ground. Lock all the poles of the climbing stick. Another climbing stick that has not been adjusted can be adjusted to the same length as the one with the locked length. When adjusting the climbing stick, it should not exceed the maximum adjustment length shown on the climbing stick. When purchasing the climbing stick, you can adjust the length first to determine whether to buy a climbing stick of the appropriate length. The strongest state of the three section adjustable climbing stick is when the three sections of the pole are the same length. Therefore, when using, don't only extend one section of the pole without using the other section of the pole, or exceed the warning scale of the pole, which will make the Climbing Stick easy to bend and deform and can't be used! The best way to use it is to adjust the other two extendable poles to the same length, which can ensure the support strength of the climbing stick and increase the service life of the climbing stick.
2. Wristband use
When using a climbing stick, most people grasp the handle tightly and exert force, thinking that the role of the wrist strap is only to keep the climbing stick from leaving their wrists. If you think so, you are wrong. When going downhill, the impact force borne by the climbing stick should be transmitted to our arms through the wrist strap; When going uphill, the thrust of the arm is transmitted to the climbing stick through the wrist strap to generate uphill assistance. Therefore, when the wrist passes through the wrist strap, it should not directly reach over the wrist strap and grasp the handle. Instead, it should pick up the wrist strap, penetrate it from the bottom of the wrist strap, press the strap into our palms, and then gently grasp the handle. Support the climbing stick through the wrist strap, rather than firmly grasp the handle to exert force. If there is a buckle, make a slight adjustment, and remember not to affect the operation of the climbing stick.
3. Operation modes in different terrain the following is the normal operation mode of general use of climbing sticks, 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.
As the downhill 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 climbing stick according to your personal feelings
