The Quarry Man

The Quarry Man This route is the stuff of legends! And climbed by the
legend Johnny Dawes. Blasted into fame in the film Stone Monkey with a Zappa
sound track that elevated the route above every other in the quarries. Even the

turns left. Now we are definitively on the way to the Everest. The
basecamp is somehow surreal. The first thing what strikes me was the
tent of Kari Kobler. A yellow dome in the middle of a field of stones

that many world class sport venues. This isn’t Spain.
But we do have a few. This is the most important confirmation Adam Ondra has

after all, he could go anywhere in the world for sure.
