Before you ask. There is a rock climb on Gimmer Crag in the Lake District called "Kipling Groove" first climbed in 1948 by A R Dolphin and J B Lockwood. It's traditional for the first climber to do the route
to give it a name. History tells us that when Dolphin was asked "why Kipling Groove?" his answer was " well, it was ruddy'ard ". Today, although there are routes much harder, Kipling Groove is still considered to be a test-piece for the aspiring hard-man.
