My friend had knee surgery done on one of here knees in February of 2010. She was a avid rock climber but never got a chance to get into ice climbing. When I started out ice climbing I did bash my knees allot learning the foot work as I suspect most people do until you gain more experience. Spite doing better her knee still hurts after using it for a long time or hitting it. She isn't taking no for a answer on going out climbing so what could we do to help protect her knee at least a bit from impacts until she gets it?
Anyone use any knee pads while ice climbing? or suggest ones that could help?
