Description
Name History
Copied from FA Rick Ziegler's comment:
The only person the route name is a slight to is to the first ascenionist (me). I was on crutches with a broken ankle at the time that I cleaned out all the loose blocks that now line the base. I would crutch up the trail, jumar a fixed line with one leg and clean this line. Back in those dark ages, many friends called me "gimp." The intent of the name is not to disparage to any group of people, only a nod to its history and the proximity to a route name "Grindulator."
