Established by John Gill as potentially the first ascent of a problem graded V10/7C+. Discussing the development of bouldering, Gill states "On boulders, delicate, tiny-holds work I referred to as “micro-climbing”, rather than bouldering. But, don’t assume that strong-arm routes are not technical. On the Groove, near Pueblo, I had to learn one of the most technical moves I’ve ever done, and it involved great strength and momentum"

Potentially the first ever ascent of a V10/7C+ (although Jim Holloway had previously climbed "Trice" and "Meathook" in 1975) References[1] https://boulderinginfo.online/famous-boulder-problems/the-groove/ |
