Before
John Gill was one of the pioneers of bouldering, putting up many hard fist ascents in the US in a time when bouldering was not the done thing.
With a background in gymnastics Gill applied a similar mentality to rock climbing, for example transferring some of the training ideas to rock climbing. Gill would also focus on form while rock climbing, in contrast to the modern philosophy of pursuing difficulty through physicality.
