Discover the Thrill of Climbing Over the Open Sea
Deep Water Soloing (DWS) represents climbing in its most liberated and exciting form. Strip away the ropes and harnesses—leaving only you, the limestone, and the ocean beneath. Falling simply means a refreshing drop into the vibrant Mediterranean, allowing you to test your boundaries without the anxiety of a hard landing.
Mallorca is home to premier deep water soloing destinations, featuring magnificent cliffs that soar above turquoise waves. Our specialized DWS course blends professional coaching, essential safety protocols, and an incredible climbing experience in a breathtaking European landscape.

Among climbers, Mallorca is known as a mecca for Deep Water Solo climbing. It is undoubtedly the top destination in the world to enjoy this pure style of climbing, and every October Rockbusters host this trip to share their psych for DWS. The best conditions are in October and early November as the sun stays low in the sky and dries the moisture out of the coastal caves. The temperature isn’t too hot or cold at this time, and the sea is still warm from the hot summer months. In recent years loads of new crags have been bolted on the island, and on overcast or cooler days we will spend our time exploring these lesser-known sport-climbing areas, making for a varied and exciting tour.
Climbing isn’t the only thing that makes people love this trip; Mallorca also offers breathtaking scenery. You’ll spend your week hanging from cliffs rising from the turquoise-blue water of the Mediterranean, hiking through secluded beaches and coves, relaxing between climbs amongst the pine trees, and sharing well-earned beers on the beach at local chiringuitos.
Deep Water Soloing (DWS) is known in Spanish as psicobloc, which directly translates to “psycho-bouldering.” It involves climbing cliffs without a rope, but the warm, blue waters of the Mediterranean are ready to catch your fall.
Majorca, the birthplace of hard DWS, was made famous as a world-class climbing destination by Chris Sharma. In 2007, he ascended the iconic Es Pontas arch, putting up a “king line” potentially as hard as 9a+/b. Since then, climbers from all over the globe have made their pilgrimage to the Majorcan cliffs to test their endurance and mettle!
The limestone cliffs offer test pieces for every level, starting with easier grades (5+) and low heights.
Deep-water soloing can be a little intimidating at first, but with the help and instruction of our experienced guides, you will quickly gain confidence and get to fully enjoy this beautiful, pure style of climbing. The Majorca DWS trip is all about new experiences, adventure, and simply having fun in the great outdoors, but with Rockbusters coaching you might also surprise yourself with some hard sends!
Majorca also offers many world-class sport climbing crags which have been bolted in recent years. They are worth visiting not only when the seas are rough! We will show you the best, secret locations, often not featured in any guidebooks.
With innumerable quality lines available on the coast and throughout the island, you will experience a great climbing adventure while constantly improving your technique and performance. You will immerse yourself in the local climbing culture and enjoy the famous, Rockbusters community spirit. Climbing with us is like climbing with friends – very resourceful, experienced friends, who have everything planned and focus on your climbing throughout the trip!
The trip is suitable for anyone with basic climbing skills, such as belaying and tying on. Our team can accommodate every level, from beginners to pros. One-to-one coaching sessions and a friendly, relaxed atmosphere guarantee an unforgettable, amazing trip. If you’re a confident swimmer hungry for new experiences, this trip is perfect for you.
