Johnny Dawes is one of the most exciting climbers ever to emerge on to the British scene - a Nureyev of the rock, dynamic and balletic. In the 1980s when climbing standards were leaping forward, Johnny stood out for his understanding of the rock and his unique approach. This award-winning video traces Johnny’s boyhood influences and films him on his gritstone masterpieces and on the spectacular Quarryman groove in North Wales. Winner of 5 international film festival awards.  Also on the DVD is a compelling 30 minute documentary about of Britain’s hardest adventure climbs, the Indian Face (E9, 6c). This spectacular line on Clogwyn Du'r Arddu is as controversial as it is deadly. The best climbers of the 80s attempted it, but it was Johnny Dawes who finally topped out in 1986. We unfold the story using never-before-released footage of Johnny Dawes repeating the crux section of Indian Face during the first ascent of West Indian Face in 1988. The saga of the original climb is narrated by Jim Perrin, with contributions from Joe Brown, John Redhead, Nick Dixon and Johnny himself .

You do not learn so much as become reacquainted with your dormant kinaesthetic system; a process I call "declumsification". If you think of yourself as unco-ordinated rest assured that you are much more able potentially than you would likely imagine. Super powerful people still reach a limit, a limit that crisper awareness can push back. I set specific movements to enable people to recover precise movement intuition. These are low power and so are easy to try repeatedly. As you succeed on one, others are introduced to open up the speed , precision and strength of intention and concentration of the pupil. I have coached 3000 clients in 9 countries worldwide including the widest range of abilities. Robyn Erbysfield (4x indoor world champion) and Alex who has Downs Syndrome though very different in limitations both enjoyed and improved. My unique approach is as much about having fun as a means of improving performance. in fact it is improving through having fun. see how others experienced the workshopsmore detailsSHOWS slide..video..stories..tricks and demos. . I have slides of my travels, and first ascents around the globe. Films including seacliff, outcrop, Nelson's column free! and in recent years I have experimented with hopping, handless, and one handed climbing on film. These dance-orientated films cut to music show the rocks in a new way. I balance rocks and show new ways to move. more details | book me COMPETITIONS: I set competitions based on proprioception and kinaesthetics. Competitions where awareness of position and feeling for movement are the primary challenge. These form a fitting compliment to the power centred approach. since they are often on less steep terrain and allow the client to expand the extent of a dual style comp.

Indian Face One hundred and twenty feet above the rocky screes at the foot of Clogwyn d'ur Arddu, a towering cliff on the north flank of Snowdon in Wales, rock climber Johnny Dawes moved up and on to a ledge just four inches long and two inches wide. This minute resting place was smaller than a bar of chocolate. But it was the key to Dawes' historic ascent, earlier this month, of a new climb on the cliff's featureless Great Wall. The climb was so difficult and dangerous that it marked a turning point in climbing, as significant for this high-risk sport as the first four-minute mile for athletics. [Guardian October 1986] Not necessarily about the Indian Face   photo: Mark Sharratt  A unique range of holds designed by Johnny Dawes. Slates, technical footholds + other accessories available  photo: Simon Nadin  Limestone Cowboy by Shelley Hocknell. Mixed Media, 120 x 100 cm. £1700 Bonkers grit and slate primate Dawes arrived on the scene at a transitional time in British climbing development. The post Livesey/Fawcett training-inspired rise in trad standards was faltering and commercial pressures to adopt the Continental Bolt were increasing in the wake of this. Into this arena leapt, literally, avante-garde rock poet Johnny Dawes, the boy wonder who invented the dyno. In a stunning and innovative series of bold climbs he revived the gritstone scene and was immediately hailed by the grown-ups as The Last Great Hope of British Climbing. Transferring his skills to slate and thence to Welsh mountain rock he played a major part in promoting the glamour of the quarries and his Welsh escapades culminated in the famous Indian Face on Cloggy. Dawes is however much more than a talented and unusual climber. His creative ability spills over from the rocks into artistic projects, particularly film. Alun Hughes' Stone Monkey® which is said to be "95% influenced" by Dawes undoubtedly changed the way the sport was filmed and was a huge hit with its mixture of semi-surreal images, documentary style voice-overs and carefully selected cool tunes. Many other climbing vids have subsequently aped aspects of the approach but none can ever repeat the splendid freshness of the original. The film epitomises what makes Dawes unique: It wasn't just his climbs that were different, he brought a completely new perspective to bear on the way the sport was practised and perceived. BRYCS 2001 "This year saw the London & South East team come second (it's highest position to date). Throughout it was leading until the last few climbs. A number of the climbers have done a Johnny Dawes course and by request he agreed to tutor the team a week before the competition. The session was incredibly inspirational and he helped bring the team together as one. It was a great delight for our climbers when he turned up at Sheffield to support and inspire the team. I'd recommend anyone next year to get Johnny along for a team session after the regional BRYCS. His energy alone will inspire you." Chris Arnold, London & South East.
