Keep climbing and keep posting. I added an extra hill on my commute today thanks to your influence.

I've learnt from experience that can lead to a niggle in my knee, though it settles down pretty quickly.
Thank you. I may be guilty of over-gearing at times too. On Mt. Rose I had pain in one knee that disappeared after a few minutes. It happened in the middle of the climb too. I've had that same pain on other climbs and it always disappears. Doesn't happen if cadence is high enough though, so it's definitely caused by over-gearing.
