British Climber Boulders Hands-Free — In a Tweed Suit

Most climbers understand the importance of good footwork, but the legendary Johnny Dawes takes it to another level — while retaining a sense of playful fun.

You might have learned about Barefoot Charles from Reel Rock last year, but what about no-hands Johnny Dawes?

EpicTV brings us some enjoyable and thoroughly British footage of Dawes showing off his feet-only climbing style. He first tried it while climbing with a hand injury, and then embraced it just to try the same old boulders in a different style.

He might even make you look at your favorite slab route in a whole new way. (Also, he reviews the SCARPA Chimera.)
