Johnny Dawes has been at the cutting edge of climbing for most of his teen and adult life and pioneered the way to unlock new levels of bold and technically difficult rock climbing.

I was a huge rock climbing enthusiast as a teenager and used to hear the mythical stories of Johnny climbing routes with one hand and leaping around the cliff. I have been luck enough to climb and hang out with Johnny many times and made a film about his no handed climbing for a film school project (www.youtube.com/watch?v=gB-makVoIPU)

In this podcast we talk about how climbing came into his life, his ascent of Indian face, stone monkey and much more.
