Restore Secure Locking Power to Your Trekking Poles

​Trekking poles take a serious beating on the trail. Over hundreds of miles, fine dirt, grit, and general friction can wear down the internal locking mechanisms of your poles, causing them to slip under heavy weight. The Montbell Stopper for Alpine Pole is a direct replacement part designed for the middle shaft of Montbell's twist-locking trekking poles. Instead of replacing an entire pole, simply swap out the worn stopper to restore the rock-solid, secure hold you rely on during steep descents and uneven terrain.

Installation & Maintenance

​To ensure your newly installed stopper functions perfectly and lasts for miles to come:

• ​Installation: Completely unscrew and separate the middle shaft from your pole. Remove the old, worn stopper and thread the new one onto the internal mechanism.
• ​Cleaning: Before reassembling the pole, use a dry cloth or a long brush to clean out any dirt, dust, or aluminum oxide from the inside of the pole shafts.
• ​Lubrication Warning: Do NOT apply oil, WD-40, or any lubricants to the stopper or the inside of the pole shaft. Lubricants will cause the twist-lock mechanism to fail and slip under your weight.
