Corridor 9

I posted my first application to test a product for BackpackGearTest.org today. There was a call to test the brand new Black Diamond Mountain Series Enduro CF Hiking Poles a few days ago. I wasn’t going to apply, but the testing pool looked small and I thought that this may give me a bit of an advantage. I was also going to wait to see what else was coming out in the next month to test since the Outdoor Retailer Show just finished up. However, these poles are not even on the market yet, so I’m sure this will be a treat. I’m hoping they will help a lot during the trip to the Grand Canyon as I will be hiking very steep terrain.
