ClimbingPanther Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 ohboyohboyohboyohboy, I just got accepted to med school in SoCal, so unless UW gets its act together and lets me in, then I will not be a cascade climber for a very long time. :mixedemotions: Quote

olyclimber Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 a small matter regarding your membership in our organization. once a member, you may never leave. Quote
minx Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 unless you quit paying your dues, then you're out. and don't mind the swift kick in the ass on your way out. who wants ya anyways? you're gonna be a broke med student w/no time to climb. congrats to you! Quote
billcoe Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 At least you will be going out on top, unlike the rest of us..... Quote
iluka Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Three words to ease this pain: Sierra Nevada granite. Plus... the road access up to the eastern Sierra Nevada and the Owens Gorge from SoCal is great all year round. Quote
Off_White Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Sweet dude, check out the mountains! Quote
KaskadskyjKozak Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Sweet dude, check out the mountains! I remember that view well. Every time I drove through LA from San Diego, you'd see that brown fart cloud sitting over LA from somewhere N. of San Clemente. Pathetic. CP: you will not be climbing much anyways as a med-student.

CP: you will not be climbing much anyways as a med-student. this is prolly true... however the mountains will be there after you are educated... i am so glad that erosion takes a long time Quote
StreetBoss Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Dude..The Sierra's, JTree, Yosemite, Red Rocks, Mt lemon The possibilities!!! Quote
ken4ord Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 I have been out of the PNW for over three years and was only living there for 1.5 years, but I will always be a cascade climber. I love the PNW way too much to give it up. I still read the guide books, still look at Schurlock photos for new route possibilities and read all the TR's with jealousy. Quote
JosephH Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Socal climbers always seemed to manage to get things done despite being in LA. And guys like Kenny Duncan managed to climb hard while in med school. Congrats. Quote

mneagle Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Socal climbers always seemed to manage to get things done despite being in LA. And guys like Kenny Duncan managed to climb hard while in med school. Congrats. Ken continues to climb hard as an orthopedic surgeon in Fort Collins. He still styles up 5.12 with skills only matched by his modesty. Congratulation on your acceptance. I remember getting the big envelope myself and whooping at the top of my lungs in my apartment stairwell. (For those that don't know, the "Wait Listed" letters always come in regular sized envolopes that really spoil your day.) You're about to enter into one really protracted epic. There will be fun, there will be pain and in the end you're going to have a hell of a story to tell. As for leaving the cc crowd, forget about it. Since leaving Seattle in 2002 I've spent 3 years in Salt Lake City and 3 years in Fort Collins, CO but rarely does a day go by without checking in on cc.com. I just can't get into mountainproject.com. It doesn't help that most of my major climbing objectives are still in the North Cascades. Damn those beautiful mountains. Quote
archenemy Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Where did you get accepted in SoCal? Quote
JayB Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Congrats! and after watching the little sis go through med school my condolences! Ditto. Wife is ~3 months from the end of residency. Congradolences. Quote
foraker Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 At least the only thing you won't be hearing is "So, how's the thesis going?" Quote
