I have a set of cheapie Walmart poles and just use one of them (and good thing since the second decided to self-destruct). I'm thinking about getting something nicer that will last for a thru, but it looks like Leki and others are sold in pairs only. Does anyone know of a place I can buy individual poles?

I buy ski poles at thrift stores, I have several sets. Just cut em off to fit me, most cost only a couple of bucks!!!

Leki used to sell certain styles in singles, although I din't think they were the "Makalu" style. You might check outdoor stores when they are having clearance sales or places(especially on the AT) that carry Leki's Demo poles.

Oops, I also forgot to mention that it needs to be telescoping because I also use a tarp. The thrift store ski pole idea would be perfect otherwise.

Post a note in Wanted someone right here might want the same thing.

EMS sells single poles as well as some nice walking stick style poles.

REI has a Komperdell made single with camera mount. I like mine but can't speak to longevity. They also have a camera monood that is similar, that might make a good pole.

I got one of those after I broke my Leki staff on an icy down slope. Its holding up well. Though I mostly grab it the usual way, being able to palm the round knob is good from time to time. No jokes, please.

I just saw cheap telescopic poles at the Mobile station EZ-Mart on rt 28 by Boiceville in the Catskills selling for $14ea. I have seen thses poles sold in many other thrift type stores as well.
Try your local Target store seen them there in singles and pairs.... should be a bit cheaper now as the summer season is gone
Lots of single poles available on ebay.
