John Gaskins is a controversial figure in British climbing. As well as an early repeat of [Hubble](/climb/5/hubble) he has claimed many ascents of hard routes and boulder problems. However for some of his hardest ascents it is unclear whether they happened. In particular he has been unable to describe the holds or sequences on his problem [Shadowplay](/climb/418/shadowplay), and shortly after claiming the first ascent was unable to pull on to the problem to get photographs for his sponsors.
Similar inconsistencies exist on several other routes and problems he has claimed including [Violent New Breed](/climb/468/violent-new-breed) (9a+), [Tranquilitas](/climb/510/tranquilitas) (8C) which John originally claimed as Karma of the Trees at 8A and Little Women Right Hand.
Despite the above John was a capable climber and almost certainly climbed several hard problems, such as [Anaesthesia](/climb/421/anaesthesia) (8A+) at [Woodwell](/crag/470/woodwell).
