Business of Ferrets: Mar 2, 2008; Good to see that everything is back to normal.

I've had success using hiking poles to reduce the battering on my knees and improve overall stability. If they're adjustable on length, making them longer on the downhill seems to improve the experience. The trick is to use them for support like you would a handrail, so you aren't so much jolting your way down as (relatively) softly lowering your body down with each step. For downhill, I've found that palm-on-top technique is easier on my wrists than the normal grip I use when on the flats.
