<p>Gary Gibson is a massively prolific first ascentionist. He started new routing in 1977 and continued to establish many new routes up until the first half of 2020, where ill-health significantly slowed his efforts. In 2021 he surpassed 5000 new routes, and at the time he had climbed approximately 17600 routes in total. [2]</p>
<p>In more recent years Gary has worked extensively to equip (and re-equip) many lower grade sport climbing venues which have subsequently become extremely popular. Crags such as <a href="/crag/148/horseshoe-quarry">Horseshoe Quarry</a> and <a href="/crag/2975/masson-lees-quarry">Masson Lees Quarry</a> are prime examples of this, containing many of the most popular lower grade sport routes in their respective areas.</p>
<p>Gary's new routing activities have proved controversial at times with accusations of retro-claims, unsubstantiated ascents and poor quality routes being levelled at various times.</p>
<p>Alongside his new routing activities Gary also somehow found time to contribute extensively to many guidebooks to the UK.</p>
