- I'm not an expert on the subject, but I can give you my own observations. Back in the days when I was a decent tennis player (in Florida), cramping was often a problem for players, especially when pl

- Don't get any older. <grin> Actually, this is not too uncommon. When it happens to me I just stop working for a few minutes and they subside. Drink plenty of fluids while up there to minimize the pro

- Mike, You were smart to get off the tower. I often have problems with leg cramping while hiking in the mountains, especially on very hot and humid days. Another cramping mode occurs when I do a lot o

- If you are getting "charlie horses", try suitable stretching exercises. Even at my age I exercise a lot. Face the wall, put your hands against the wall, then while leaning against the wall, move you

- Don't think I have any advice for the cramping issue but will give a thought on a safety device I use. I always take up a 11mm line with me as my personal safety line, I don't use it for loads (excep
