Knee pain when descending a mountain
Do not jump or take long strides: It kills the knee! Be aware that the descent is hard and dangerous. Walk at a steady, slow pace and keep the knees flexed.

Do not linger too long where you cool down too much.

Take regular short breaks to eat energy foods, rest briefly and to assess your direction. Sudden changes in weather are common.
