Hi monkeys:
I’m at a PE shop in midwest, and seem like a lot of senior people in the industry here like mountaineering. Is this the same in New York /large cities too? What interesting hobbies outside of golf, vacation etc do you see senior people In PE have?

Rich people love weird things. I've seen syrup making, raising chickens, and racing (yes - cars!). It's hard to generalize odd pursuits like those.
And then I've seen more pedestrian and common things as well, like cycling (no pun intended). Other common interests include squash, art, skiing, fishing, and so on.
Who likes mtnrg? I spent 20 years totally obsessed with it but have so very rarely ever met anyone professionally who climbs/climbed. 2 that I can think of. Frankly, highly distressed PE scratches an itch of mine very similar to what alpinism did but without nearly the amount of suffering - and much better pay.

Lots of people in venture and growth, especially in SF, like mountaineering. It tends to be the nerds who get the idea it makes them cool or hard.
My firm has leadership who loves mountaineering but we are located in the Mountain West so it comes with the territory.
