[pct-l] Trekking poles

[waynekraft at verizon.net (Wayne Kraft)]

I gave a ride last summer from Cascade Locks to REI in Portland and back to 
a group of thru-hikers that included a young fellow named Pi whose pole tips 
were shot.  As I recall, he said they'd been gone for 1000 miles by then. 
REI replaced them for him on the spot. I don't think they charged him for 
it. If Pi is typical you might want to figure out how to replace the tips 
yourself and bounce a set to about the half way point.

For all trekking pole users who have thru-hiked the PCT:

Will the tips need replaced during a thru-hike?  If so, what is the easiest 
way to remove and replace them?  Note:  I have Black Diamond Contour poles.

Thanks!
Mark
