I keep coming across clips of folk doing amazing stuff on the real rock and realised that there's no suitable repository here on buildering.net so figured I'd make one. This is in response to this vid. The sequence of moves (skip to 4:40) is really something:

Will shortly post a couple of others as soon as I track them down. Mainly stuff I've posted elsewhere but it's nice to bring them together, I reckons. Smiling

Johnny Dawes is one of the legends of British climbing. If you can, track down a copy of Stone Monkey:

I had the honour of working with Johnny as an instructor at Mile End before he buggered off back to North Wales to start putting up more stick-hard routes. Highlights in that first vid - the attempted head jam; his argument with his belayer; his second refusing to follow him. Brilliant.
