Overview
LEKI builds the Khumbu as an adjustable aluminum trekking pole sold as a pair. Each pole collapses in sections for packing, and a Speed Lock Plus lever clamps the length wherever you set it, with an Aergon grip at the top.
Quick length changes on the move come from the Speed Lock Plus lever, so you can shorten the poles for climbs and lengthen them for descents without a long stop. The sections fold down for stowing on a pack. The collapsed length is not stated, which matters if they must fit inside a bag.
Who it's for
Day hikers and backpackers on rolling terrain can adjust these on the go and stow them when scrambling. Shorter walkers who need a minimum length below the listed range should check the numbers first.
Pros and cons
- Lever locks adjust without tools
- Collapses for packing
- Sold as a pair
- Aergon grip for long days
- Collapsed length and tip type not listed
- Listing gives two different weight figures
- Handle material listed as metal, unclear
Performance notes
Holding power comes from the lever clamp on each joint, so a pole that slips under load usually needs its clamp tension adjusted. Grip shape governs hand fatigue over long days, and the shafts carry load evenly when set to the right length for the slope.
