Hey, First time poster here but I have some relevant experience as a recent (1month ago) graduate of medical school. While I did have nearby gyms in both the cities I lived in during school, I spent many weekends driving 2 hours one way to climb for single days. During medical school I improved my RP best from 12a to 13b, albeit I actually started to focus on sport climbing and working harder routes. Parts of medical school are grueling, but don't trick yourself into thinking it needs to take over your life wholly. Even if you are on the side of "slow learning" which I doubt if you've gotten through all this school, taking a day off on weekends to climb is entirely reasonable if not highly advisable. I did almost no studying on weekends in my first two years (except studying for the boards for a 6 week period... perfect hangboard interval:) I matched into a competitive specialty at a super competitive program. I am no genius. I got my shit done during the week and I crushed during crunch times. I looked for 'weaknesses' in the schedule and I exposed them. If you find partners who are psyched my guess is that you'll climb a lot during school. And it doesn't get easier! So, make it a priority to fit it in, use it to re-energize you for your work. You'll be better because of it. Congrats! Med school was actually lots of fun. Don't forget to enjoy the ride:) Paul

Hey there! Sounds like you've got a busy schedule ahead with medical school. Hangboarding can definitely help maintain your climbing strength when you're short on time. Speaking from experience, buy essays online cheap has been a real help with balancing studies and other interests. Check them out if you need some academic support while pursuing your climbing goals! Good luck!
