The Black Crows OXUS FREEBIRD poles are designed for ski touring and mountaineering enthusiasts seeking a reliable tool for technical high-mountain terrain. Constructed from 7075 aluminum, they combine high structural rigidity with a lightweight design of 250 g per pole, making them a solid choice for both challenging ascents and powder descents.

A design tailored for ski touring and mountaineering with the OXUS FREEBIRD

The single-wall construction of the 16-mm-diameter tube ensures direct force transmission without any mechanical weak points. The reinforced anodized aluminum ferrule protects the most heavily stressed part of the pole during use in winter conditions. At the tip, the tungsten carbide tip guarantees a solid grip on hard snow and ice, where precision is crucial.

Handle and wrist strap for a grip suited to technical outings

The 33-cm-long EVA foam grip offers a comfortable hold even with thick gloves, while partially absorbing vibrations during repeated pole plants. The ergonomic, adjustable wrist strap is inspired by harness systems: it adjusts precisely to the wrist to maintain a secure fit without restricting circulation—which is especially important during long ascents on skins.

A flexible basket adapted to changing conditions

The flexible 90-mm-diameter basket is sized to provide sufficient support in fresh snow without adding weight to the setup or hindering movement. Its flexibility allows it to adapt to uneven terrain without the risk of breaking when subjected to torsional stress. The OXUS FREEBIRD is available in four lengths, from 115 to 130 cm, to precisely match each user’s body type and skiing style.
