Alison Osius on The Women of Climbing and Media in the '80s

Alison Osius on The Women of Climbing and Media in the '80s

Check out our new book, Written In Stone: The 1990s!

Alison Osius is easily one of the most impactful people in climbing media. She helped to shape how so many climbers learned more about and engaged with the sport from the '80s into the '20s. She’s a former editor at Climbing, Rock and Ice and Outside, the first woman president of the American Alpine Club, wrote Second Ascent: The Story of Hugh Herr and has received the AAC Literary Award. She's a climbing legend.

In this episode we discuss how she discovered climbing through journalism, her first times meeting the other top women of the '80s, and some of the first big competitions. We also get Alison's side of the rivalry with Bobbi Bensman that we heard about last season, and of course, because she's a media legend, I ask her theorize about the answers to impossible to answer questions. We start the conversation talking about a big event that had just happened before we recorded.
