ABSTRACT
Six-foot-two, a hundred and eighty pounds, and able to do a one-arm, one-finger pull-up, Gill is attracted to the more immediately gratifying or perhaps frustrating type of climbing which requires the use of such strength. West of Fort Collins, Colorado, is a series of short sandstone cliffs covered with routes done by him. These stand as monuments to him and will prove challenging, if not outrageous, to future generations of climbers. In 1968, Gill and I were climbing in this area, testing our abilities.
