Deep-Water Soloing In Mallorca With Daila Ojeda

The Spanish island of Mallorca has a lot of things going for it – great climbing crags, a beautiful coastline, and amazing people among them. Combine crags, coastline and amazing people and what do you get? Daila Ojeda deep-water soloing on some of the island’s premier psicobloc crags over crystal clear Mediterranean water. In this video we also get a bit of yoga instruction from Olivia Hsu, and Carrie Cooper joins the fun for a couple of big falls into the sea.

Alone on the wall

Climbing truly massive walls without a rope, and zero chance of survival if he falls, Alex is calm and fearless (except when it comes to girls). But attempting the 2,000-foot wall of Half Dome, the greatest free solo ever attempted, would finally teach Alex the meaning of fear. Released in 2010. 24 min. Directors: Peter Mortimer, Nick Rosen. Part of the First Ascent series.

Adam Ondra 9a first ascent

Black Diamond athlete Adam Ondra made the first ascent of Chaxi Raxi, a massive 9b line at Oliana, Spain in late April. This is likely one of the hardest sport climb in the world. We had Bernardo Gimenez on the scene to document Adam’s efforts and he was fortunate enough to be there for the redpoint. Below is the outstanding video Bernardo edited together, as well as brief recap from Adam. Stunning. Impressive. Inspiring. Absolutely bad ass. Congratulations, Adam.
