Has anyone used these to hike in the BC? Do they become uncomfortable after climbing up a slope?

I've booted and skinned with my Asterisk braces. Not going to lie to you - it is not the most comfortable way to travel. Now that my post-op knee is nice and strong, I leave them at home on touring days. They only time I'd think of using them in the bc is if I'm looking at a high consequence line or shredding mini golf terrain.
