Трекинговые палки и ледоступы уже готовы.

In Russian, the present-tense verb to be is usually omitted.

So:

• Трекинговые палки и ледоступы уже готовы.
• literally: Trekking poles and ice cleats already ready

But the natural English translation is The trekking poles and ice cleats are already ready.

Russian does not normally say есть here. Using есть would sound unnatural in this kind of sentence.

Because the subject is plural:

• палки = poles
• ледоступы = ice cleats / traction devices

These two nouns are joined by и = and, so together they form a plural subject.

That is why the predicate is plural too:

• готов = ready (masculine singular)
• готова = ready (feminine singular)
• готово = ready (neuter singular)
• готовы = ready (plural)

So готовы agrees with палки и ледоступы.

Because палки is plural.

Compare:

• трекинговая палка = a trekking pole
• трекинговые палки = trekking poles

The adjective has to agree with the noun in gender, number, and case.

Here:

• палки is nominative plural
• so the adjective is also nominative plural: трекинговые

They are in the nominative case.

That is because this is a basic statement about what something is like or what state it is in.

Breakdown:

• трекинговые палки — nominative plural
• ледоступы — nominative plural
• готовы — short-form adjective, plural, used as the predicate

So the sentence structure is basically:

• [subject in nominative] + [state/description]

This is a very common question.

• готовые is the full form adjective
• готовы is the short form adjective

In Russian, short-form adjectives are often used when describing a temporary state or condition, especially in sentences like X is ready, X is happy, X is important, and so on.

So:

• Палки готовы. = The poles are ready.
• готовые палки = ready-made / ready poles

Very roughly:

• full form often acts like a normal descriptive adjective before a noun
• short form is often used as the predicate after the subject

That is why готовы is the natural form here.

Уже usually means already.

In this sentence:

• Трекинговые палки и ледоступы уже готовы.
• = The trekking poles and ice cleats are already ready.

Its position is flexible, but the most natural place is often before the word it most closely relates to.

Here уже готовы means already ready.

You may also see:

• Уже готовы трекинговые палки и ледоступы.

That can sound a bit more focused on the fact that they are ready now.

Russian word order is flexible, but changing it can shift emphasis.

Ледоступы are devices you put on your shoes or boots to walk more safely on ice. In English, depending on context, they might be called:

• ice cleats
• traction devices
• spikes for icy walking

It is a practical outdoor word. It comes from:

• лёд / лед = ice
• a root related to ступать = to step

So the word suggests something like things for stepping on ice.

It is a borrowing-based adjective from English trekking.

Modern Russian often forms adjectives like this for sports, travel, technology, and gear. So трекинговые палки is a normal modern expression for trekking poles.

You may notice that Russian sometimes borrows an international term and then adds a Russian adjective ending:

• трекинг → трекинговый
• plural: трекинговые

So even though the base word is borrowed, the grammar is fully Russian.

И means and.

It joins the two items:

• трекинговые палки
• ледоступы

Because they are connected by и, the whole subject is plural, and that is why the predicate is plural:

• готовы

If there were only one item, the form would change:

• Трекинговая палка уже готова.
• Ледоступ уже готов.

Yes, that is the literal structure, but it is not natural English.

A more natural English translation would be:

• The trekking poles and ice cleats are already ready.
• or more idiomatically, The trekking poles and ice cleats are ready already.

Russian often sounds more compact than English because it can omit are in the present tense.

The stress is on the final syllable:

• готовы́

A rough pronunciation guide is:

• ga-ta-VY

The whole sentence, with approximate stress, is:

• трЕкинговые пАлки и ледоступЫ уже́ готовЫ

A few useful stress points:

• трЕкинговые
• пАлки
• ледоступЫ
• ужЕ
• готовЫ

Stress is important in Russian, so it is worth learning words together with their stress.

Yes. Russian word order is flexible.

Possible versions include:

• Трекинговые палки и ледоступы уже готовы.
• Уже готовы трекинговые палки и ледоступы.
• Трекинговые палки и ледоступы готовы уже. — possible, but less neutral

The most neutral version is the original one.

Word order changes emphasis more than basic meaning. The original sentence sounds like a straightforward statement: The trekking poles and ice cleats are already ready.
