I went in August 03 as a 52 year old and used poles. They were extremely
helpful on the steep downhill sections. Several of the crew used poles and thought
they were of great benefit. I would buy the lightest weight poles you can
find. I bought one pair of Leki's on ebay for around $50 so you can find these at
reasonable prices.
