Is the weight of 11 oz for one pole or two?

I got a chance to use these on a hike up Mt. Pemigewasset. The hike is a little under 2 miles with 1900ft of elevation gain. I weigh about 180 with my pack.

Pros:
-Long padded handle makes it easy to choke up on the poll for climbs
-No screwing around with adjustments since the poll is fixed length
-Carbide tip covers fit securely and don't come off in mud and on catchy roots.
-Incredibly light
-Pack down incredibly small

Cons:
-If you love to adjust things you won't be adjusting these
-I feel like I could accidentally snap one of these if I had a heavy enough pack.
