You should be using your hamstrings and glutes more when climbing. If you are not then you could be climbing faster if you fixed your position.

Leg presses work your hamstrings and glutes, not quads.

Cadence "too high" does not make your knees hurt. Too low makes your knees hurt. There is no such thing as "too high" as long as you are smooth and not bouncing in the saddle.
