BCA Scepter Poles

The Scepter features a specialized scraper grip designed specifically for backcountry touring. It allows you to clear ice and snow buildup from your skis or bindings without having to take your gloves off or use your hands.

Yes. The upper shaft is textured to provide a secure, non-slip grip when you need to choke up on the pole during steep traverses. This gives you better control and leverage without the added bulk or weight of foam grips.

The strap is designed to release under tension, which is a critical safety feature in the backcountry. If your pole gets caught in a tree or debris during a fall, the strap will detach to help prevent injury to your wrist or shoulder.

Absolutely. The telescopic adjustability allows you to shorten the poles for efficient uphill climbing and lengthen them for downhill skiing. The multi-function basket is also designed to perform well in a wide variety of snow conditions.

The utility hook is a small but practical feature that lets you easily flip your binding heel risers up or down while skinning. It saves you from having to bend over or use your hands to adjust your bindings.

7075 aluminum is an industry standard for backcountry poles because it offers an excellent balance of strength and weight. It is rigid enough to handle the stresses of touring while remaining light enough to minimize fatigue on long days.
