Deep water soloing video France or psycho block - 12/07/2011

Sebastien Batel Active Road, presents "the Deep Water Soloing activity or psycho bouldering, through the six episodes of the series "Walking on the rock".

The "Walking on the Roc" team & Active Road met each other during a little trip in Figuerolles near by La Ciotat.

Accessible in canoe-kayak, it's in this surprising place with strange roc and clear water that our climber decided to share their passion.

And if you are not yet in a bathing suit, slippers on his feet, here below the episode that will make you want to wet the chalk:

"The Deep Water Soloing (DWS) is a climbing akin to climbing solo, withoutequipment (or rope or harness). But unlike climbing solo, which includes high risks, inthe DWS has a lot less. Indeed the fall is possible since this activity is to climb abovethe water!

Even if sometimes the drop height can be dangerous, it is the climber to judge his commitment and his mastery learning, in the way of difficulty and high progressive.
The fall is learned as all self-control ...
The Deep Water Soloing is perfect for me with respect because it allows free climbingroutes to achieve a maximum level with complete freedom of movement ... " Sebastien Batel"

This activity can be done in summer in the Calanques between La Ciotat, Cassis, Marseille and in the Gorges du Verdon.
