Adjusting your Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork Trekking Poles is pretty straightforward. They use the FlickLock Pro system, so here’s a quick guide to help you out:

1. Find the FlickLock Pro Mechanism: It’s a small lever on each section of the pole.

2. Open the FlickLock Pro Lever: Gently push the lever open until you hear a click.

3. Set the Pole Length: Slide the pole segments to adjust the length. Generally, if you’re on flat terrain, aim for a 90-degree angle at your elbow when you're holding the pole.

4. Close the FlickLock Pro Lever: Lock the lever back in place firmly—you should hear another click to confirm it’s secure.

5. Double-check the Lock: Give the poles a gentle tug to make sure they’re locked and won’t slip during your hike.

Our research shows that people find this system really easy to use and reliable.

The poles also come with interchangeable carbide tips and rubber tips. Swapping them out is simple too—just twist off one and replace it with the other.

Carbide tips are great for rough terrain, while rubber tips work better on smooth surfaces.

Follow these steps, and you’ll have your trekking poles set up perfectly for your next adventure!
