As I hiked the JMT
"As I hiked the JMT in the highest recorded snowyear in August of 2023, there were still a lot of snow fields we had to cross. We had our ice axes with us, but often we were too lazy to put our packs down to get our ice axes. Then I ran into a hiker who had a Black Diamond Whippet. Long story short, I bought the whipper ready trekking poles and the whippet, and that will be my instrument for my planned PCT next year. It is easy to put onto the trekking pole, and much strdier as I expected. This is a high quality product, and I highly recommend it."
