Make sure you get us some pics ...
Just 2 guys in the great outdoors handling their sticks.I’m camping with the owner of Timber Ninja this weekend, so I think I will actually have my hands on them.

Having watched the evolution of carbon-fiber bicycle frames, I recall the same concerns about durability. It took the engineers a little while to understand the new material and some of the early designs were nothing but carbon tubes glued into metal head-tubes and bottom brackets. But since then there have been real leaps in design, performance, and durability. My road bike doesn't have much metal on it at all. If there is market demand there will be carbon-fiber climbing sticks.
I figured you guys would hit it off....ya'll are too much alike. Guess I will get to try your new carbon fiber sticks next year at the Greater Carolinas Hangtime! Jason at Timber Ninja Outdoors is not the type of guy to halfa$$ a product so I am sure these sticks will be the real deal. He is a big guy..... 6'2 and he used them all year so I am sure that they would support my 160 pounds no problem.I’m camping with the owner of Timber Ninja this weekend, so I think I will actually have my hands on them.

Youre also shooting that thin carbon arrow 300fps....read the guys comments with mountain bikes again
i guess just for the weight savings?? probably quiet with almost no metal parts but i know what you mean. would probably get brittle after years and years of use. but most of us would have bought the next latest and greatest by then. I love my O.G. Lonewolf Assault hang on though.I was finally starting to warm up to the thought of carbon fiber sticks. Timber Ninja posted an overview video of their sticks. They look decent except for the plastic steps. Kinda cringed when he said polymer....
Depends on what plastic they are made out of on how brittle they will become... I've been using the same Ameristeps for a ROS year after year and they are 20ish years old and still doing just fine. But yes I agree most likely due to saving weighti guess just for the weight savings?? probably quiet with almost no metal parts but i know what you mean. would probably get brittle after years and years of use. but most of us would have bought the next latest and greatest by then.

That was the first plastic I thought of.Depends on what plastic they are made out of on how brittle they will become... I've been using the same Ameristeps for a ROS year after year and they are 20ish years old and still doing just fine. But yes I agree most likely due to saving weight
Let me stamp my size 14 and 250lbs on it.Plastics nowadays are a lot different. I don't consider "made of plastic" to be a curse anymore. Go try to break the fiberglass reinforced nylon handle on a Spyderco knife.
Wait for the Catalyst Outdoor carbon sticks. They'll have an aluminum step and they claim sub 1 lb. Problem is I think they stack staggered. If so, that's a no go for me.

Ditto the question. If price point is competitive, could be a game changer.Any idea when they will hit the market?
