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.

These are great suggestions, thank you!
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!
