EXTREM SPORT

The psicobloc is simply to climb without rope on the sea. It is climbed to a height of between 10 and 20 meters and always in walls that overcome the 90 º of inclination, in order that the falls are directly on the water without be striking by the wall.; having practiced it is the purest way of climbing

Though since the first Majorcan climbers appeared, at the beginning of the seventies, always it was climbed on the sea during the summer months and also in places as Them Calanques (France), in The United States, etc, it was an activity that was practised of sporadic form. It he was not until 1978 in Majorca, when they started opening routes of a constant and systematic way, giving place to the formation of this new sports modality

 

This modality can realize anyone that has basic notions of climbing Providing that a minimum of force is had, because the walls are collapsed always and has to be able to swim, The risks What they traverse are: If the fall is over-excited and from certain height, from 15 meters, you can make to you hurt enough .. they have, had many lesions since for example s there were two serious accidents of vertebral column, between foreign climbers..

• If not at all sufficiently well or you get in winter, you can suffocate also. This happened to a British climber a few years ago in I Carry Christ (Majorca)

 

The better of this extreme sport is The sensation of freedom, because it is the only modality of climbing where you climb many meters, without traversing too much danger without taking any type of material, harness, mosquetones, ropes, etc …
