Place hand on top of pole and push off. It works nice and I find less stress on my wrists than holding the pole in the traditional method and pushing off.

SAC-up man. I found a nice pair on SAC. I still need to cut them though. If I trim them as expected I can range from 42 to 46 or 48.

I have Black Diamond carbon fiber poles. BD are the ones with the flick-lock system. I've yet to make them slide and collapse on their own with the flick-lock system. So far I haven't heard of anyone complaining about the flick lock failing on them. I don't use the twist-lock kind during winter time anymore - those can and do get icy and can slide.
Those look pretty good, I'd probably consider picking them up if I saw them on SAC...
I'm having a tough time trying to figure out how to cut them down. As of now the length ranges from 48 - 54". Due to the construction I can't take the length off the top (grip end). On the other end, I can't figure out if its possible to remove the tip of the pole and cut the material from that end. If not I have a pair of really long adjustable poles that might work out for you tall AZ members.

Don't engage, Grassi. If you ignore a pimple, eventually it will shrink down and go away.
