Clearing out my hard drive I came across a few pics I had knocking about, so thought I'd share them with you. There out on the web somewhere, but here they are collected together for the worship of Johnny G.

Enjoy :lol:

I reckon some of that Gaskins magic rubbed off on Doylo when he touched the holds on Shadow Play - he did his route project on the Ormes last night (new F8a+ left of Masterclass).

You might call that a coincidence, I call it magic Gaskins energy!
 
Don't suppose you could up load some of the best pics so we can see them for more than a second. Good thread

Have you got a copy of God on VNB as well? I remember seeing a DMM poster with a picture of him on it, that was quite good.

Violent New Breed 9a+

John Gaskins completed Violent New Breed (9a+, or 5.15a) at the G-Spot, in Gigleswick, England. Gaskins bolted the route in 1993 and worked on it for the following two summers; in 1995, he spent roughly 50 days traying to master it. 1996 looked to be the year of the redpoint, until Gaskins discovered that one of the holds, a subtly glued-back-on crimp, had been knocked off, with the words "Tut tut" chalked onto the crag, and lost interest. In 2000, he returned, and bested the move without the edge. In 2004, Gaskins redpointed the bouldery 20-foot line.
