He was too tired to walk down? Really? Couldn't do it even with an effective gravity assist?
Walking down is harder on your knees, he probably was in too much pain. That's my guess anyway.
After a 5 hour hike up a mountain in Argentina one of my knees gave out, no reason, just not enough conditioning before the trip I guess. I finished the hike up the mountain with some ski poles and my left leg. So yay, got to the top! :) However, it took me 7 hours to get back down with LOADS of painkillers that did sweet fuck all. But I weighed about 105lbs 5'3" at the time so I had no extra weight to deal with. My knee took 3 weeks to heal up after that. Going downhill can suck a lot.
Not making excuses - his fat ass shouldn't have gone up in the first place. I'm just thinking why he couldn't get down again, lol.
TIL! As a fellow little female, moar protein and reverse lunges.
