Anyone in/been in/know someone in physical therapy school who was able to keep themselves sane with some nearby crags? preferably at a decent school. Curriculum is pretty standardized so recreation is becoming a consideration in my searching (not the only one).

edit: may not have been clear at first, the idea here was to dig up some school names, not the names of people who rock climbed while at pt school :)

University of Colorado at Denver Medical School has a very good program. I have a friend who is getting a doctorate in physical therapy there now.

I am on faculty at Regis University in the school of PT (we are in NW Denver). Feel free to email me at enelsonw dot regis dot edu if you have any questions about our program. Would be happy to talk to you - we have quite a few students who climb as well (and sometimes they even let me belay them!)

Either one of the school suggested, I've had friends go to, and were both happy with the programs they were in. If med students in many cases can keep themselves climbing while in school, you can do it in pt as well
