# Pole *Adventuring gear* - **Cost**: 5 cp - **Weight**: 7.0 lbs. A Pole is 10 feet long. You can use it to touch something up to 10 feet away. If you must make a Strength ([Athletics](/Rules/Source/skills.md#Athletics)) check as part of a High or [Long Jump](/Rules/Source/variant-rules/long-jump-xphb.md), you can use the Pole to vault, giving yourself [Advantage](/Rules/Source/variant-rules/advantage-xphb.md) on the check. *Source: Player's Handbook (2024) p. 228.
