If I was going to spend some money getting some climbing coaching I would spend it on Johnny Dawes. I think his ideas about movement on rock are inspirational. I think he does sessions on Southern Sandstone or used to at least.
personally I wouldn't spend my money on dawes, just reading the article on him in high/ote or even his bit in power of climbing is enough to dissuade me instantaneously.
I guess it depends what you are after.. Anyway, I'll get me coat.
with Johnnie I can see me not being able to take much more than inspiration from it. Which is to say I don't think I could learn to climb like him as, from what he says at least, it's so different to the way I now climb which is pretty static.
Whilst Johnny may not have cut it down the school,
If you're a 'pretty static' climber, do you think you'll gain more from reinforcing that style? Can you not figure out where you're weakest yourself? Sounds like to me it might be dynamic moves?
you never learn anything in a training course cos there's too much to take in

Everything you say is true. I just find it hard to beleive that a few hours is enough to completely break down all my old habits & build a new style.
gives me the impression you've not met him, and certainly not seem him do a workshop. You generally seem to be passing judgement without anything to back it up.

You would have to groom your vocab also, or are you familiar with terms such as, "outuition" or "jugification".you will learn how to develop your "salad theory" by abiding by "coleslaw laws", yes you will be able to take this information and translate it to your everyday life... I am offering classes...but they are nothing to do with climbing

Font would be the place, good socialising, climbing and totty factors (buying pastrys and drooling over the staff!!!) make this the destination.
He could always turn you on to a different experience
