Incorrectly marked as Gaskins' Problem in early bouldering guides.
Gaskins problem at Almscliff turned out not to be a Gaskins problem after all. Renamed Identity Crisis - FA Tim Clifford (2002), still only had one repeat I think from Stew Watson? Think both thought more 8A than 8A+ (but it's a bit reach dependent).
The problem John Gaskins climbed back in 1993 was actually "Cherry Falls Right" - ie: get the Cherry Falls crimp with LH, match as best as possible with R and go again with R straight for break. Dunno if it's been repeated. Probably somewhere in the 8A - 8A+ ish range. [1]
