Started when I was young been a little over 20 now in the hooks and i feel a twinge that comes and goes in my left though its probably more footwear related at the moment. For me I think its the water I drink, MSM condroiton helps and certainly having good muscle structure in your legs help as well. as mentioned avoid impact as much as possible try not to over work them if you can help it. Trust me i weigh 240 i think of this often as well beings i have done it so long and will in all likelihood be a 40 year+ climber before its over I consider it heavily and hope the same thing. climb safe.
