Transcript (21 pages) of interview by Matt Driscoll with Bill Ohran on February 19, 2010 |
| Abstract |
Ohran (b. 1971) was born in Provo, Utah, where he honed his skills, beginning in Rock Canyon. He benefitted from the guidance of Jeff Pedersen, with whom he would later run Mountain Works, a climbing gear shop located in Provo. Mountain Works responded to the need for specialized gear for sport climbers and, like Salt Lake City-based IME, served as a place for the climbing community to assemble to discuss gear and climbing beta. Bill discusses the developing popularity of sport climbing. He also shares his thoughts on the challenges and rewards of bolting sport climbing routes. In the 2000s, he moved to Saint George, Utah, with his wife and climbing partner Misty Murphy. Bill continues to be responsible for putting up well-thought of routes in such areas as Zion National Park, Utah Hills, and the Virgin Mountains. Interview is part of the Outdoor Recreation Oral History Project. Interviewer: Matt Driscoll |
