Transcript (29, 15 pages) of two interviews by Erik Solberg with Bob Springmeyer on June 14 and 28, 2007 |
| Abstract |
Springmeyer (b. 1943) was raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he was introduced to the outdoors through family fishing and camping trips. He was also involved in the scouting programs through the L.D.S. Church. He describes his education in Salt Lake City, an illegal fraternity in high school, the Alpenbock Club, climbing friends, experiences with improvement in technology, and clean climbing (recovery of equipment on the way down). He also shares his favorite climbs, both in the Jackson, Wyoming/Grand Tetons and the Salt Lake City Canyons areas. He also talks about doing the Gannett climb (also in Wyoming), but backing off as he felt his safety was threatened by weather and equipment issues. Springmeyer concludes with a discussion of fellow climbers from the Alpenbock Club and making ‘clean' climbs easier. Interview is part of the Outdoor Recreation Oral History Project.
