Mountain King Guide

Why Choose the Mountain King Guide Walking Pole?

Lightweight and Durable Construction

The Mountain King Guide Walking Pole is made from high-quality aerospace-grade aluminium, ensuring strength without unnecessary weight. This lightweight construction makes it a favorite among backpackers, hikers, and Nordic walkers who value gear that won’t slow them down on long treks.

At just under 300 grams per pole, you’ll enjoy optimal support without feeling burdened—perfect for long-distance hiking or multi-day trekking.

Telescopic and Adjustable for Custom Fit

One of the key features of this walking pole is its telescopic adjustability. With a length range typically between 66 cm and 135 cm, it can be easily adjusted to suit hikers of all heights or different terrain needs. Whether you need a shorter pole for climbing or a longer one for descending, the easy-locking mechanism provides secure and fast length adjustment.

This makes the Guide Walking Pole suitable for men, women, and teens, giving it a wide appeal for outdoor users.

Ergonomic Handle and Wrist Strap

Comfort is essential during long hikes. The ergonomically designed handle offers a non-slip grip, reducing the risk of hand fatigue. Made from EVA foam or cork depending on the version, the handle wicks away moisture and remains comfortable even during intense summer hikes or wet conditions.

The adjustable padded wrist strap offers additional security and comfort, allowing for natural arm movement without losing control of the pole.

Ideal for All-Terrain Hiking and Trekking

Built for the British Outdoors and Beyond

Mountain King products are proudly made in the UK and designed specifically for British and European hiking conditions. The Guide Walking Pole is built to perform on a wide range of surfaces—whether you’re walking through the Lake District, scrambling in Snowdonia, or taking on the West Highland Way.

Replaceable Tungsten Carbide Tip

The pole comes with a tungsten carbide tip, ideal for providing grip on rocky, icy, or muddy ground. This tip can be replaced easily, making the pole a long-term investment for serious walkers.

Included rubber ferrules and trekking baskets also help improve performance on urban terrain or snow-covered paths.

Health and Safety Benefits of Using a Walking Pole

Reduces Pressure on Joints

Walking with a trekking pole like the Mountain King Guide significantly reduces the impact on your knees and hips, particularly during descents. This makes it an excellent choice for older hikers or anyone dealing with joint pain or mobility concerns.

Improves Balance and Stability

By providing a third (or fourth) point of contact, hiking poles help improve your stability on uneven or loose terrain. This reduces your risk of slips, trips, and falls—making it a valuable tool for hillwalking, fell walking, and coastal path hiking.
