Watts Rocks

Watts Rocks

Join Alan Watts, on a guided tour of Smith Rock. Widely regarded as the founding father of this iconic climbing destination, Watts played a key role in the development of sport climbing in America and around the world. His ascents of Watts Tots and Chain Reaction at Smith Rock in Oregon, during the same week in 1983, ushered in a new age in American climbing. In the early 1980s, he single-handedly transformed Smith Rock from an unknown Oregon crag to an international destination for the world’s best climbers. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from a true master of the craft and a rock climbing pioneer. Alan launches his membership blog "Alan’ Corner" that serves several purposes. First, it provides a chance for me to share my stories, whether looking back decades ago or writing about my current challenges of climbing in my 60s.
