The ultralight, packable companion for fast-paced alpine pursuits.

When every gram counts on a grueling approach or a steep technical ascent, you need a trekking pole that delivers uncompromising support without slowing you down. The LEKI Skytera FX Carbon SL is an exceptionally lightweight, highly packable carbon pole designed specifically for fast-moving thru-hikers and mountaineers. Engineered to collapse effortlessly into your summit pack when the terrain demands hands-on scrambling or ice tool placements, it quickly deploys to offer rock-solid stability across undulating ridgelines and exhausting descents. With its minimalist, ergonomic grip and incredibly fast length adjustment, this pole is the definitive choice for climbers who refuse to carry a single unnecessary ounce on their journey to the top.

Our Take

We highly recommend the Skytera FX Carbon SL because it combines staggering weight savings with the ultimate convenience of a sub-16-inch pack size. It is a brilliant, streamlined solution that offers our guests robust stability during the approach and then effortlessly vanishes into their pack when they need both hands free for the summit push.

Details & Features

Streamlined Verticon grip is designed for fast-paced mountain travel, offering an 8-degree ergonomic angle for natural wrist placement and a sweat-wicking 1K foam construction.

Integrated striated foam extension below the grip provides crucial extra real estate for quick hand position changes on steep, undulating terrain.

Ultralight, highly breathable Lock Security D-Loop Mesh Strap dries quickly and ensures a secure connection on demanding approaches.

Innovative Core Locking Device (CLD) allows the pole to fold down to under 16 inches (40 cm), making it incredibly easy to stow inside a climbing pack.

SpeedLock Plus (SL+) adjustment system guarantees extremely fast, secure length modifications on the fly, even when wearing thick alpine gloves.

Premium HRC Carbon shaft construction delivers a remarkably low swing weight and unyielding stiffness for precision pole plants across varied surfaces.

Universal Carbide Flex Tip and Micro Basket easily navigate varied dirt trails, soft terrain, and rugged rock slabs while preventing the pole from sinking.

Our Philosophy

We Simplify Outfitting

Whittaker Mountaineering was born out of the need for RMI to make sure their clients had the appropriate gear to get to the top of Mt. Rainier safely. After decades of trying, reviewing, arguing-over, and recommending gear, we can’t help but know what we’re doing by this point. We know what works, we know what doesn’t, and we use that expertise to stock our store.

Who are these guys?

We carry them because their commitment to uncompromising quality and field-repairability perfectly aligns with our outfitting philosophy. When you are miles from the trailhead and relying on your poles for balance over a narrow log crossing, you need the absolute reliability that Leki consistently delivers.
