It is time to return to the big mountains! 🏔️ Embark on a journey back to our mountaineering roots, which began with the iconic first MAKALU – the world's first telescopic trekking pole! A legend since 1974 🙌
But there is no looking back without an homage to mountaineering pioneers Reinhold Messner and Peter Habeler, who made history as the first climbers to summit Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen. On the way up and down with them? The golden makalu - conquering peaks worldwide since 1978.
Another legend was surely Ueli Steck 🧗 His dream pole included an ice axe for a lightweight 2-in-1 solution 🦯 🪓 Of course we had to make this dream come true for him. In 2012, he climbed Everest with this custom-made LEKI pole, without artificial oxygen.
Today we are happy to have great mountaineers like Dani Arnold, tamara lunger or David Goettler within our #LEKIfamily. It's worth keeping your eyes open, something big is coming next year!
