Myung Jin-Oh
Chapter Co-Chair
Myung has lived all over Illinois (lots of flatland and cornfields), but for the most part still class Chicago home. Working in Chicago generally means limited access to outdoor climbing, so you will see Myung join the swarms of people heading to the Red River Gorge to climb outdoors or climbing indoors at one of the many gyms in the Chicago area. While relatively new to the scene of climbing, Myung is all about developing all facets of his climbing repertoire, staying active in the climbing community and promoting climbing to all walks of life.
In Memory of Savannah Buik (1996 - 2018)
"I divert to climbing to help me experience ALL emotions: happiness, anger, frustration, sadness, excitement... the emotions combine to make me feel whole again. Climbing is my way of feeling."
Savannah’s family has started the Savannah Buik Memorial Fund, which enables you to make a gift to the Club in her honor. Donate through the drop-down menu here.
