    This Arch in Mallorca is massive, I've been there, the video doesn't do justice. You can't understand how high that is!! A fall on the top part can be deadly or really hurt you. Truly astonishing climb, only a true legend like Chris could accomplish this. Greetings from Barcelona!

      yeah, the arch is really intimidating. Over ten years ago I visitied the place (I was watching King Lines like every other day back then :-D) and I swam over and just got to the right base of the arch. Even calmer waters day it took me a lot of courage, there is a crazy underwater-rockworld there. Super impressive and beautiful place, but totally rad to climb this hard and this high without a rope :-D

      @@jaytitan3902 There's really not much comparison between Freerider and this to be honest, this route is wayyyyy harder, like 8 grades higher. Alex's solo of Freerider is one of the most ballsy climbs of all time but a 5.13a big wall trad route is an entirely different beast than a 5.15a deep water solo sport route. He's never climbed 5.15 but he has said it's still a goal of his and I'm sure if he decides to train hard for it and put all the other stuff he does on pause long enough he'll probably be able to do it at some point, he's sent 5.14d so he's almost there.

This stuff is just so unbelievable to me, makes me know that what ever achievements that I’m striving for in life, I can accomplish them, because their degree of difficulty and danger is no where near what these amazing people do.

Given the level he was climbing at at this time, how long it took him, and what he has said about the route, people have estimated it at 9a. Which would not make it one of his easier climbs by any means, but not his hardest.

      @@peterneumann7145 Well I would imagine if anything it would seem harder then it actually is. The fact that he's going to fall 50 feet and it's definitely going to hurt must have some psychological effect. Also, and probably more importantly, it's harder to get attempts, and you can't hang in your harness and try the moves, so it's hard to project. These factors make it different from other sport routes so grading it might be difficult.

    Edit (9 months later): if you think about it, 50 attempts are not that much. At that time, any other human, including the greatest professional climbers of all time, would need a lot more attempts. Provided they wouldn't didn't give up! Truly amazing.

    Rock climbing is fascinating. At first I was mainly interested in the Guys doing the crazy scary solo climbs, but this is also interesting - the technicality of it, the fact that there's basically a science to it as much as strength and fitness. Awesome
