Finding traverses where falls are never more than 10~15 ft is a great place to start. Also wearing a well fitting neoprene wakeboard life vest helps. I took an unplanned 45 ft deep water fall last week and my vest didn’t shoot off, bruise my pits or give me whiplash when I hit water
Ahah this comes really at the right moment. Today I tried deep water soloing for the first time. It took me about 5 minutes to climb 15m of 5a, but when I reached the top...oof 40 minutes to find the courage to jump down 😅 That was the part I found harder and I think for what I tried, as long as you don't go over your limit, the true challenge of deep water soloing
A boat, or floatation device can really help with approaches.
Cool video. Do you have any recommendations for good DWS cliffs?
It really depends on where you are! Are you perhaps in Sweden?
@@AllegraClimbingPsychologist yes:)

It's best if you can stop along the way to take practice dives!
