Our Friday Night Video this week is a short film from Neil Hart about James Pearson climbing The Quarryman (E8 7a). It was first climbed by Johnny Dawes in 1986 and became infamous after the film Stone Monkey was released. I was utterly captivated the first time I saw Johnny bridging up the groove in his bright lycra and vest top, using his legs in ridiculously strenuous positions. Unfortunately, James didn't wear the lycra, but he did get himself into some unusual positions.
