The Instinct Slipper is ideal for sport climbing and hard bouldering. The lightly down turned toe allows you to grab at holds on steep rock but the softness of the rubber on the shoe allows you to smear on the worse of holds. The use of Lorica means stretch is pretty much non-existent in this shoe once you find the right pair while the elastic band across the top of the foot allows a secure fit when heel hooking or toe-hooking.

A truly great shoe from Scarpa, this is bound to be a classic.

Weight: 183g 

Material: Lorica and Elastic

Watch Sam & Percy test out the Scarpa Instincts indoor & out. Percy is wearing the slipper version on West Side Story - a grit classic known for its poor footholds

There's an elasticized waist, shock cord pulls at the ankles, and deep zippered pockets with snap-lock closures. Quite simply the one climbing pant you can't live without!

This spectacular line on Clogwyn Du'r Arddu is as controversial as it is deadly. The best climbers of the 80s attempted it, but it was Johnny Dawes who finally topped out in 1986. We unfold the story using never-before-released footage of Johnny Dawes repeating the crux section of Indian Face during the first ascent of West Indian Face in 1988. The saga of the original climb is narrated by Jim Perrin, with contributions from Joe Brown, John Redhead, Nick Dixon and Johnny himself .

    The Great Wall saga and the unfinished story of the Indian Face is one of the most hallowed tales in British climbing.

    'The line between genius and insanity has never been so blurred.' Leo Houlding

    DVD Extras:

    • Johnny's rants.
    • Johnny's directors commentary on Stone Monkey
    • Johnny and director Alun Hughes talking about the making of Stone Monkey
