Women's power: Margo Hayes, Emily Harrington and Paige Claassen in Mallorca

The Americans Margo Hayes, Emily Harrington and Paige Claassen traveled to Mallorca to discover the ingenious Deep Water Soloing routes and the almost forgotten sports climbing areas of the Spanish island.

Three damn strong women who all make a contribution to the further development of climbing (by the way: Margo Hayes was the first woman to climb a 9a + - LACRUX reported), recently traveled to Mallorca. The result is a sympathetic film about the three even more likeable athletes. See for yourself.
