Bill Ramsey on Alan Watts and Climbing at Smith Rock in the 80's

  • Résumé

  • There’s nobody better than Bill Ramsey to discuss the impact that Alan Watts had on climbing. Not only is he a philosophy professor, but he was born in the same hospital as Alan, just a few hours later. Their fathers climbed together at Smith Rock, their mothers shared a recovery room, and together they found a love of climbing that helped bring Smith Rock into the future.

    We discuss:

    • Bill and Alan’s early climbing.
    • What contributed to changing ethics at Smith Rock.
    • What Alan saw in Smith Rock that Bill didn’t.
    • Alan’s forward thinking and selflessness.
    • What Alan Watts means to climbing history.
