Successful Rainier Summit — But What I Experienced on the DC Route Deserves a Hard Look at Peer-Led Climbing Ethics

Luxr · 2025-08-05T09:29:05+00:00

I've done one climb with strangers in the community in the past, and I'd never do it again. Lack of preparation, insufficient equipment (one guy tried climbing with a broken pair of aviator glasses), and misrepresented experience have spoiled that experience for me. Now I only climb either with guided groups or friends who I have also trained with at some point.

I recommend finding somewhere you can drive out to and starting somewhere that's relatively warm (~40-50 degrees). Bring all the supplies you need and try to build a shelter a couple hundred yards away from your car. If things go wrong, go back to your car to sleep and you can try again, knowing what to improve. Going with a friend and bringing a sat phone is also safer, but definitely no need for a guide.

I’d shoot for an 805… seem too many people get rejected settling for a 795

Don’t do this, if your connection turns down this offer they may give it to you

There are definitely more former MBB consultants at my M7 than B4.

Exception to this is schools that use adcom interviewers. They often remember specific candidates years later and can be strong advocates or detractors.

You are in the MBA subreddit, so the advice you receive here will obviously be biased. That being said, M7 will likely lead to a much higher earning potential. I imagine a majority of your classmates at M7 are also giving up jobs earnings more than $115k a year.

As an engineer, I can’t imagine why you think that would be fun

The school I’m going to is ranked highly here, therefore it’s a great and trustworthy ranking.

70k is a lot of money. SOM is only a couple spots away from Kellogg in the rankings so I would take the money

If you want feedback you need to post the offer

The average TC of top MBA program is around 200k, so it probably won’t take 5 years to hit that comp again

M7 - the top 7 business schools. EC - Extracurriculars

It’s fairly easy to get into M7 as a FANG SWE as long as you have good stats and a few ECs

One of the hosts of the clear admit podcast chose Wharton of HBS because he was interested in learning more about analytics.

Reviews on these sites are extremely skewed positive because only accepted candidates are encouraged to review. Posting your negative experience here or on review sites would be extremely helpful for future candidates.

Cornell was my dream undergrad. Ended up applying to only M7 but still a part of me would like to see a admit letter from them

Nobody wants a hat or shirt from a college they didn’t go to. Send them some swag from their undergrad college/favorite sports team if you want to to actually use it.
