Small, slow steps going up and switchback when coming down is how I prefer to navigate steep stuff. I've learned I'm far more efficient, and faster this way. I used to just start charging uphill until I was gassed and then have to stand there to catch my wind. Then I'd just repeat until I was at the top. If I'm going up and getting tired I just slow down some more.
I use trekking poles as well when hunting. I never use them when training unless it is snowy/icy.
