Transcript (22 pages) of interview by Matt Driscoll with Ron Olevsky on August 13, 2010 |
| Abstract |
Olevsky (b. 1954) was born in New York City, and grew up in rural Connecticut, where he developed an enthusiasm for the outdoors. Ron spent a summer in Switzerland in 1968 and was exposed to climbing for the first time. In 1970, he worked on a ranch in Wyoming, and eventually he hitchhiked to Boulder, Colorado, enrolling shortly thereafter at University of Colorado-Boulder and climbing extensively in Rocky Mountain National Park. Ron describes his new route development in Rocky Mountain National Park and Zion National Park. He identifies some of the key figures in route development in southern Utah and shares his observations on the Utah climbing culture and community. The interview concludes as Ron describes his experiences as a climbing guide in southern Utah. Interview is part of the Outdoor Recreation History Project. Interviewer: Matt Driscoll |
