Hi there

Thanks for the query

Are you climbing high altitude terrain?

This could be due to lower temperatures as you climb higher altitude. Due to lower oxygen as you go higher you'll also tend to develop muscle aches.

It always best to acclamatise and train well before climbing peaks.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
