Trip Gallery
First-time psicobloc climbers
You've always wanted to try deep water solo, safely, with people who know the cliffs and the sea.

You love psicobloc and want the best lines on the island, timed to the right conditions.
Sport climbers wanting something new
Climb without rope and harness and find a new kind of freedom on the rock.

DWS trains your head: committing to moves above the water carries back to your sport climbing.
