Use hiking sticks.

Choosing and using a hiking stick

-Your pole needs to be telescopic, so you can shorten it for ascents and lengthen it for descents.
-Look for lightweight aluminum construction and comfortable grips – blisters on your hands will soon prove as uncomfortable as those on your feet.
-Those with a choice of tip are best because you can vary it to suit the terrain.
-Stick with the established brands. Remember, these poles have to take your weight, don’t compromise on qualify.

To use, loop your hand through the fabric band found on the handle, and place the pole ahead of you as you walk; it should touch the ground the same time as your opposite leg does – so it’s left foot and right hand forward. Then, as you go through the walking cycle and your pole is to your rear, push off with it to generate forward momentum, easy. With poles, most people agree that ‘two are better than one, but one is better than none’, so if you are packing or after new equipment, a pair could be a wise investment. Before each trip, considering taking a spare tip as they sometimes break. And afterwards, give your pole a quick service; just take it apart and leave it to dry.
