New First Ascent @ Sesimbra

There’s a project in Sesimbra that will probably last some time (at least for me)… But there was an optional exit that could work… and, with some effort, it did. After 3 atempts from each of the 3 climbers there (Ricardo Belchior, Miguel Riera and Ricardo Neves) I decided to go for a last and final go, and did it.

Profile:

“Wings”, 7a+, 10m

Notes: first 3m are hard and you can’t fall / tide has to be at its highest >3,5m) / It’s a very sustained and beautiful route!

“Wings” and the project (left and right, respectively) – Sector “Sesimbra dos Grandes”.

Climber: Miguel Riera

Climber: Ricardo Neves

On the way to the DWS climbing spot… a surprise!

A new blog about DWS in Portugal

ricardofb — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 10:09:46 +0000

The initial idea of having a DWS blog was to have a website where people can find free information about Deep-Water Solo (DWS) climbing (aka Psicobloc) in Portugal.

To make it more dynamic and to increase your desire to do this excellent climbs I’ll also be adding some photos of our best DWS climbing days. And, if you have photos and reports about DWS in Portugal, you are also invited to send them to me and I’ll gladly publish them here!

Hoppe you enjoy!

Happy climbs and clean dives to everyone.

Cheers

Ricardo Belchior
