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.

Would that help with my knees? I mean they are fine most of the time but if I walk for more than 5 hours or 15 miles the right one starts to act up a bit. It's really annoying. I've never been fat so no extra strain on them, not a runner either and I've never had an actually injury to my knee. It just flared up that one time and now does it every so often when I push it.
