> ii) Did anyone else find it funny that Johnny spends the first half of the video talking about how you have to deal with the small and weirdly positioned holds by feeling for the dynamic momentum and moving with the natural rhythm of the climb etc etc etc and the second half of the video seems to show Caff demonstrating that you can also deal with the small and weirdly positioned holds by having super-hench fingers and precise technique? Not forgetting that we're talking about super-wads here, and that Johnny at his peak (and these days, come to that) was still bloody strong and Caff is still flowing and dynamic in a way that most of us can only dream of, the contrast in styles is quite interesting.
I've just watched it and I reckon Caff is using some awesome body tension, precision gripping and dynamic changes of balance just as Dawes did.
Great little film - Dawes is still a great enthusiast and I find that inspiring.
It's Adam Hocking's excellent film featuring James McHaffie on his super slab The Meltdown (9a!).
