Hiking Mount Baldy (Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge) 

Tysm. 🙏🏼

They help a lot on bigger elevation hikes. It helps on incline to really dig in and lift your body weight, you are now using four extremities instead of just two. This will allow you to climb longer. Decline it helps distribute your weight and saves some impact on your knees. Really is helpful in both instances. There are other times you can use them to help with balance as well. I would recommend watching a video on the proper way to hold and angle them depending on the terrain you are on.
