Rob Gawthorpe


Quick Info

From United Kingdom 🇬🇧
Gender Male
Climbing
Hardest Boulder (Worked) 7C+
Hardest Sport (Worked) 8a
Hardest Trad (Worked) E5

Extremely strong and talented Yorkshireman who was bouldering at the technical cutting edge in the early 1980s.

Rob is an awesome climber, and one of the most twisted routesetters I have ever come across (there was always a Gawthorpe nasty in the old Edge comps). His ability on the rock, and his penchant for both the minging crimp and the horrific rock-over are still legendary.
