: Hello! I'd like to draw on your experiences -- do you recommend using 2 trekking poles or a single walking stick? Our maximum altitude will be 3000 meters (Poon Hill) on what's classified as a "moderate to strenuous" trek.
: Thanks for your ideas!
One. Unless you are really old or have a disability. They are great things. They retract very easily and can be extended easily and I wouldn't go with out one. I used to use wooden sticks just picked up from anywhere but they fall apart.
