[@ElevateClimbing]

He’s still alive and well at 87! Salutations from NJ to the father of bouldering!

The Thimble is absolutely terrifying.To do this in 1961 with no pads amazing. Legend.

"That feeling of flow and grace" my mentor.

Truly my hero

[@jcardenas1779]

Just learned about John Gill today because I climbed one of his FA's: Acrobatic Overhang. Very cool to touch the same holds as this legend.

[@TesterAnimal1]

Absolute legend!

[@AvonNabors]

So underrated

[@paulmitchell5349]

Certainly an inspiration to British Peak District climbers in the early 1980's.

[@peterpozman6972]

Saw him speak at Buxton in the 1980s. There was film too.
