DPS Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 (edited) 30 years ago my childhood physician was Dr. John Roper at Group Health in Renton. He was a climber and his office had lots of mountain climbing photos on the walls. I thought the name Roper was appropriate for a climber, or a rodeo cowboy. Is this the same John Roper that has climbed all that stuff in the Cascades? Edited June 30, 2008 by danielpatricksmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EWolfe Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 John Roper is a great guy - and he is also the pre-eminent North Cascades climbing historian. Thanks, John! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_White Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Yes, John Roper the climber is a regional legend to anyone who's paying attention in the Cascades, but is/was he a group health physician as well? That's the real question here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
