In this episode, legendary climber and developer Alan Watts explores:
How he inadvertently hazed me on my first Smith climb
The joy and fallout of being the father of sport climbing in the U.S.
The stunning Watts route that caused a chain reaction in climbing
The route J.B. Tribout actually stole from him (it wasn't Just Do It)
The wild story of how Just Do It actually came to be bolted
What are the "rules" of climbing anyway?
Putting Smith Rock on the map, and what makes it so rad
Being labeled a cheater by his heroes and peers
Balancing performance, health, and joy as an older climber
How to have more fun as a climber right now
