Mountainsmith Rhyolite 6061 Trekking Poles (Pair) – Emerald Green

Overview

The Mountainsmith Rhyolite 6061 Trekking Poles are designed to bring stability to your trail days. Crafted with a durable 6061 aluminum construction, they pair a lightweight feel with dependable performance, offering a value-forward option for hikers who seek comfort and reliability on varied terrain.

Three telescoping sections provide a compact stance for trailheads and a full reach for longer ascents. The twist-lock double cam adjustment is built for quick, secure length changes, so you can adapt on the move without fumbling with settings. A spring-loaded anti-shock system cushions your rhythm, while a lock-out feature gives you extra control when you want it.

Comfort and Control

Comfort starts at the grip. The Rhyolite combines cork handles with molded EVA/TPR components and adjustable soft-touch wrist straps to minimize hot spots and pressure points across long days on the trail. The anti-shock system helps absorb impact, potentially reducing fatigue during continuous trekking or rapid elevation changes.

Terrain versatility

Design features account for both rugged and delicate surfaces. Whether you encounter scree, packed dirt, or light snow, you can swap out baskets and tips to maintain grip and balance across the day. The poles are built to support a steady rhythm from early morning hikes to late-afternoon climbs.
