I've been down in Sydney again this week, and after conversations over the weekend and during a quiet evening I started thinking about some of the climbing videos that we used to watch - badly worn VHS copies of copies that were taken arond from party to party and always played to death. Yup, climbers are obsessive like that. One of the all-time great was 'Stone Monkey' featuring Johnny Dawes back in 1986 which heralded a new waves of gritstone climbing in the magnificent Peak District. Here's an edited copy that condenses down some of the best bits - stick with the slightly dodgy dream sequence, it gets a lot more serious later on. Enjoy!

About Me

- Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
- I'm a middle-aged English bloke that moved out to Australia in 2005. Life's been good to me out here - I have great mates, a beautiful partner and a pretty good life all round really. Previously I prattled about bikes & beer but earlier this year I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, so I've started a second and darker blog where I muse on all things prostate. Apologies to my mates if I share too much :)
