Johnny Dawes TONIGHT!

Don't forget Johnny Dawes will be coming to Transition Extreme tonight to talk about his new book "Full of Myself".

For those of you that aren't familiar with him his major contribution to British climbing was the introduction of two new grades to the British Grading system for rock climbing (E8 and E9), and several new routes that are today still world standard. In 1986 he introduced the grade E9 to the British grading system with a first ascent of the route "Indian Face", a route of epic proportions and still to this day known around the world as the perfect example of high-end traditonal climbing.

Some other notable ascents include

1986 Gaia, Black Rocks E8 6c (first ascent)
1986 End of the Affair, Curbar Edge E8 6c (first ascent)
Smoked Salmon, Bamford Edge E8 7b (first ascent)
Face Mecca, Clogwyn Du'r Arddu E9 6c (second ascent)
Angel's share, Black Rocks E8 7a (first ascent)
1990 The Very Big & the Very Small 8b+/8c slab (first ascent)

He will be speaking tonight from 8:00pm tickets cost £7 in advance or £10 at the door.

The wall will be closed to climbing from 8pm so come down and then climb then relax after with a great talk from an inspirational legend of British Rock Climbing.
