Rock climbing, reading, medicine on the side
While in college and living in Southern California, Roland explored different terrain while getting to do more rock climbing and backcountry skiing. Although he had not thought of Los Angeles as outdoorsy when considering it as a place to live, he has made the time to climb and ski nearby peaks. Now Roland lives in New York City where he is a medical student at Columbia University’s Vagelos College of Physicians & Surgeons. No matter the quality of the climbs elsewhere, the mountains of the Pacific Northwest will always hold a special place in Roland’s heart.
Spending time with friends in the mountains.
I am a medical student in my free time.
I hope that clients take away that mountaineering is incredibly fun and attainable when done safely.
