Makalu Cork Lite
$149.95
Description

  The Leki Makalu Cork Lite will help make your next outdoor adventure your best yet. The Makalu Cork Lite comes with the newly developed Aergon Air grip, made with genuine cork. Cork absorbs moisture from sweaty or wet hands, decreases vibration, and best conforms to the shape of your palms. Special hollow core technology combines lightweight construction with a supportive grip for unparalleled ergonomic comfort for your hands. The back of the Aergon Air grip is rubberized providing maximum grip when going downhill.

  The Makalu Cork Lite provides the ultimate tool for comfortable and secure outings. The built-in positive angle supports your wrist for optimal guidance and placement of the pole. With its slim tube diameter, the Makalu Cork Lite has a weight of only 254 g (9 oz) per pole and is infinitely adjustable from 110 to 130 cm using the durable and time-tested Speed Lock Plus lever system. This collapsible and durable 3-section pole is crafted from HTS 6.5 aluminum, providing exceptional durability and dependability no matter where your next adventure takes you.

  Sold as a pair.

Overtourism Is Out of Control. Here Are the New Rules of Travel.
  I was in Hawaii with a group of friends, and a local screamed at us to go home. The island was overcrowded, and while I know tourists can be obnoxious and disrespectful, we were being conscientious. I don’t want to give up visiting the world’s most beautiful places, but I also don’t want to add to overtourism. Can I continue...
Can You Be a Beef-Loving Environmentalist?
  I like a good burger as much as the next girl. This past weekend at a family cookout, I indulged in a damn good one. But each delicious beefy bite brought with it a bitter aftertaste. You see, I’m an environmentalist hell-bent on making daily choices that support a healthy planet. And beef, I’m sure you’ve heard, has a hefty...

How to Run in the Heat Like the Pros
  After a few pleasant hours sitting in the sun watching the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Oregon last month, I headed down into the bowels of Hayward Field for a grueling test for running in the heat. Chris Minson, a professor of human physiology at the University of Oregon, had invited me to try the heat adaptation protocol he has developed...
fizik Launches One-to-One: Custom-Printed Bicycle Saddles Based on Pressure Mapping
  The longer the ride distance or greater the overall cycling volume, the more critical the touchpoints on a bicycle are. Gender, body dimensions and shape, rider flexibility, specific riding postures, and other highly individual factors make having the perfect fit at the handlebars, pedals, and saddle difficult. Throw in personal preference, and the optimal fit seems like a minuscule target....
Shilletha “Dragonsky” Curtis Wants to Write a Green Book for Thru-Hikers
  In late May, Shilletha Curtis published her memoir about hiking the Appalachian Trail. A week later, Curtis, who is also known by her trail name “Dragonsky,” completed the final leg of the 2,190-mile pathway.   Her journey had begun nearly four years earlier.

Kai Lightner Thinks We Can Do Better
  Though he’s just 24 years old, Kai Lightner has been a kitchen-table name in the rock climbing world for more than a decade. After years of steady performance in the competitive youth circuit, Lightner took the outdoor world by storm in the spring of 2013, when during a four-week period he sent his first four 5.14s—including Southern Smoke (5.14c). He’s...

Climb Upstate NY’s First Via Ferrata With Us: A New Way to Experience the Shawangunks
  It’s a distraction mechanism. My knees are clacking, my mouth has gone dry, and it’s all I can do to muffle the screams inside my head. But here I am, buckled into a harness and clipped by a carabiner into a cable that stretches across the rocky face of Eagle Cliff in the Shawangunk Mountains of Upstate New York.   Someone...
