The Deep Water climbing guide is a guide to the best Deep Water Soloing routes on offer in the UK and in all the major DWS areas around the world.
The winner of the 2007 Mountain Exposition Award at the Banff Mountain Book Festival, Deep Water describes routes in full and attributes them Sport Grades in conjunction with the now accepted S-grade that gives an indication of the climb's seriousness with regard to height above the water and tide considerations. The difficulty of the routes included spans all grades ranging from dreamy grade 4s, 5s and 6s above the warm waters of Asia and the Mediterranean, to many hard grade 7s and 8s, some above the less-tepid seas of Northern Europe and the Southern Ocean. The majority of the destinations covered in Deep Water are distinctly exotic and are a must for the climber who loves sun warm water and stunning routes.
In the last fifteen years the branch of sea cliff rock climbing, referred to as Deep Water Soloing, has grown in popularity and spread its watery wings around the Globe. Deep Water is the first guidebook dedicated to documenting the major areas that have seen significant amounts of Deep Water Soloing interest and development over this period. The main author Mike Robertson was one of the first climbers to ditch the rope and security of traditional protection and rely upon the safety-net of the sea. Mike has travelled far and wide developing new routes and climbing traditional sea cliff lines in the Deep Water Solo style and has published many articles and photographs in climbing magazines worldwide.
The information is presented in the full colour Rockfax photo-topo style and includes crucial advice on when and how to tackle the deep water solos. The guidebook is enticingly illustrated with many stunning photographs, the majority taken by Mike Robertson. As a stand-alone comprehensive reference book or an essential companion to the traditional guides to the venues the Rockfax book Deep Water is an object of desire!
