Finding these on YouTube made my morning.

Ladies, gentlemen and gentlepersons of other genders -- the guy who established bouldering as a form of climbing in its own right, who was climbing V9 at a time when the cutting edge was 5.10, professor of mathematics, king of the one-finger pull-up, still very much with us: John Gill.
