The Traverse Compactor Black Diamond is a very versatile aluminum pole that can be used in all seasons.
Equipped with Z-Pole technology, this pole offers rapid deployment and very compact storage once folded (easy storage in a bag for example).
It features the FlickLock Pro adjustment system, locking the stick is fast, simple and reliable. The FlickLock Pro offers up to 20 cm of additional adjustment, which can be useful for changing the height of the pole between climbing and descending.
Its compactness and winter features (Touring handle and strap, 100 mm washers) make it an ideal pole for ski touring, splitboarding, snowshoeing, etc.
We appreciate on this new version, the screwdriver integrated inside the strand to carry out maintenance operations in the field: tightening the FlickLock Pro valves, adjusting the ski bindings, etc.
The Z-Pole Rapid Deployment System:
The cone deployment technology is inspired by Black Diamond's know-how in avalanche probes, it is an essential component of the robustness, stability and speed of deployment of the Z-Pole poles.
Just grab the handle and the top end of the pole and then pull them each in an opposite direction. The stick snaps into place and locks.
Each Rapid Deployment Cone is used to guide and position one strand of the stick and then to secure the junction when the stick is locked.
Soft protective end caps cover the central Kevlar cable of the pole when folded.
The Z-Pole Rapid Deployment System has three unique elements:
• An invisible internal cord/cable
• A simple push button to fold the strand
• One-step rapid cone deployment

The "FlickLock® Pro" adjustment system (new design):
The FlickLock Pro pole height adjustment system was designed with efficiency, compactness, lightness and ease of use in mind.
The new FlickLock Pro now features a lighter and easier to use aluminum construction.
Based on the FlickLock®, the FlickLock® Pro revolutionizes the design of the adjustment system.
While retaining the benefits of FlickLock, the FlickLock Pro offers a space-saving aluminum design that dramatically improves the level of locking quality, feel and strength.
The highlights of the FlickLock® Pro adjustment system are:
• A space-saving design
• A dual axle design for increased leverage and locking
• A high quality aluminum composition designed to last and very light
