<p>I have never fancied using a stick or pole for hiking. With a heavy backpack, its always tiring to walk, especially on an ascend.</p> <p>Last weekend it was the same east side story for me. Seeing me struggling, a friend of mine handed me a stick that he had make-shift made from a strong but dead bush, with all its branched cut. He thought that would help me with the load and make my limbs and knees feel better to walk, I felt the same. But I couldn't actually figure out how it would, and how am I supposed to use it.</p> <p>How should a walking stick/pole be used on ascend and on descend?</p>
