[pct-l] getting steamy...

[Hillary Schwirtlich]

I love my titanium goat poles. They're 6.5 oz for the pair, and I've taken
them up multiple mountains, gotten them stuck in boulder fields, and taken
them on spawning surveys (hiking up the middle of a river, using my poles as
extra legs) and they haven't broken. They're also $30 cheaper than the GGs.
