Fixed one hiking pole

I followed Black Diamond technician's instructions, and fixed my right hiking pole in 5 minutes. The problem on this pole is the joint piece slipped up inside the next upper section. I used a flathead screwdriver, inserted it into the stuck joint piece. Torque it against the sides and pulled to draw it back out. Then I used a very small amount of epoxy, positioned it back into the correct place. Wiped away any excess and let it cure at room temperature. It should be good to go. I will test it this weekend. I love this pair of Black Diamond Distance Z Z-Poles, super light, and folded into 34 cm long, great for international hiking trips.
