The Black Diamond Terra CF trekking pole is so good it’ll make you toss all your old poles in the dumpster. Why First up, comfort. The Terra CF has a canted foam grip with a cork-like upper nub and lower grippy extension. This means the standard grip is comfortable, and you have a wide variety of other gripping options to choose from. Second, it’s easy. The upper adjustment uses the newest iteration of BD’s FlickLock system with length marks to take away guesswork. The lower section pulls out and clicks into place solidly and precisely every time with the Binary system. At just over a pound, you’ll have no weight complaints with the Terra CF, either. If you’re after the highest performance trekking pole with the best adjustment technology around, you’re after the Black Diamond Terra CF.

Product Reviews

worth every penny
I’m a pretty big guy (215lb) and these things stand up to everything I’ve done to them. They have a great swing weight and grip so you don t even notice you re using them. Also, the carbon fiber middle section makes these things weight next to nothing. I was able to power up hills like I never have before. One of the best buys I’ve made in a long time.

terra C/F
Well designed poles with good shock absorption. Anodization to upper shafts a little weak and they weigh slightly more than posted.

Terra CF’s
These poles are wonderful in every way, shape, and form. The carbon fiber mid section makes them light and strong. The handles on them make you forget that you have them in your hands. Even the swing weight of them just seems better than any other poles I’ve used. I’m a pretty big guy and they hold up my weight without a problem. And if you re rolling your eyes at the fact that they have no anti-shock system, please don’t take that into account, these poles make up for it in performance.

Perfect
Gear shouldn’t interfere. But I’m picky. I have a pair of Leki Makalu Ti AS and they are high quality if you don’t over-tighten. But the Black Diamond Terra Cf is it! First, they are strong and secure. The lower section (aluminum) has a fixed squeeze lock that is secure and is easy to operate even with gloves, if you avoid any twist when clipping or unclipping. The mid section (carbon fiber) is held by the famous flip lock which is quick and secure. They are definitely quieter because of the carbon mid section compared to all aluminum. And this mid section gives all the shock absorption I want. The anitshock spings in my Lekis are too mechanical feeling for my taste, and anti shock "give" dampens tip feedback, which I like. Grip material and shape, strap softness, and especially the forward tilt are a fit for my medium hands. Though I rarely use a choke down grip (but heck, why not for no weight), I do use the cork top knob on downhills. The Blue Ridge can be demanding on poles, but these stand up. BD has a new model with an oval shape (all aluminum), but I don’t think it’s possible to improve on the Terra CF. I like this US based company. You can find discounts with patience.

Repels Marauding Death Badgers Too
I m biased against shock absorbing poles. I want to feel terra firma, solid (or not) and shock absorption just doesn t feel right. I ve used these poles in the mountains of Idaho and Utah, wearing the baskets to tattered fragments of their former selves and love, I mean LOVE, these poles. If you re tall (I m 6.5 ), or not, these poles will help take you to the top of any peak (and back), faithfully stay at your side through any terrain, and reduce hand/arm fatigue through the clever application of the Science of Ergonomics. Quiet, flip locking, easy-to-use, carbon graphite fiber, aluminum marvels of modern gear engineering.
