As having the odd combination of a Philosophy major, an English minor that is close to a major, and Geology classes that are close to a minor, I can say that there are almost as many Philosophy major climbers as Geology, per capita. Analytical skills are entirely relevent in the study of literature and philosophy, just as they are relevent in the sciences, so I do not like the implication that the sciences are somehow more academically demanding or analytical than the humanities.
Just my two cents =)

I thought engineers drove trains.
I guess I am a retired geologist and full time dirt bag and part time slumlord.
I would say I've noticed a lot of outdoor industry people ataying at climbing destinations for a while (j-tree, bishop, el potrero, Smith Rx, Yosemite). lots of math and geologists seem to be in climbing too. lots of computer people on internet sites...

I'm an ex-computer geek who's now studying to be a firefighter. I originally got into climbing to stay in shape for windsurfing, but nowadays I climb way more than I windsurf.

I am work for a tv station...but my boyfriend works in computers! It is funny that you say that because now that I think back most of the people that I have met are either in computers or engineering.

Us programmers have to have some outlet to the outside world. Programmer by day. Gym climber by night, and trad climber by weekend. Not a bad week in my opinion.

I didn't read EVERY single post, but I didn't see anyone say they were in the military. I'm in the Navy myself, but I work with electronics and computers (mainframes mind you, not PCs). One reason I particularly like to climb is cuz the rocks I'm on are usually miles away from the damn ocean. (but I surf, go figure)

My main partners consist of a painter, an aspiring cinematographer, a lighting tech, a helicopter pilot and an actor. Sounds like Beth is hanging with the wrong crowd!

Biotechnology student.
Is it possible that this has something to do with disposable income?
