I had an aliexpress carbon pole snap a couple of days ago, the wind was stronger. Kind of user error though, too windy. It was in the highlands of northern Norway. There I was and chose the least windy spot but still, it's all so open. Was close to the edge of the area though so just packed it up and descended for an hour or so to find a better spot and a tree branch to replace it for the night. In the morning I sawed the broken part off and it works again for now, just 5 or 6 cm shorter. And now I ordered a new one, the Six Moon Designs one made by Easton. Is it good, what's the best five-piece pole, about 124cm?
Here's a picture close to the place I was going to camp at and the temporary replacement.
