climbing

Chris Sharma re-opens a tough Deep Water Soloing Tour on Majorca: Big Fish (8c + / 9a).

Most recently Chris Sharma heard of the 30 Meter DWS route in Ardèche (LACRUX reported). In recent days, Chris Sharma, who lives in Barcelona, ​​has been roaming Mallorca again. His goal was to walk a new, hard deep water soloing route in the Soller area, which he discovered years ago.

Said and done. On Tuesday September 12, 2017 he was able to climb the route freely: “It's one of the most aesthetic, biggest and hardest deep water solos I've ever done. So grateful to play and push my limits high above the sea on this perfect stone year after year ”, he comments on the ascent.
