Howz your knee now? looks like I am on the same boat.

My Knee is acting up with ITB and Chondromacia (Yes both), I constanly hear clicks when moving the knees and it gets worse if I keep my knee in bent position for a long time. Any good PT/Orthopedic doctors who are experienced seeing climbers. I would probably prefer someone in Beaverton/Hillsboro area but can drive to any nearby areas if the specialist is an excellent one. PS: I have already tried KOR PT, imo they are just crooks trying grab our money.

Good suggestions guys, sorry for responding late. I ee La Sportiva and Scarpa are the front runners, I am thinking about La Sportiva Batura 2.0 ay good boot fitters in or close to Portland.

I climbed Mt.Adams recently as my first cascade climb and rented Scarpa boots from a outfitter in Portland, end of the climb both my thumb toes were bruised kicking steps in the snow and felt they were too narrow in the toe box area (compared to my Salomon Quest D hiking boots) Now I want to buy a pair of mountaineering boots which I can use in Winter for snowshoeing break them in then use them to climb mt.Hood in late spring early summer and probably Mt.Shasta. I'm normally 8.5-9 in size with low volume foot, any suggestions on a decent PNW compatible boots.
