With its high concentration of quality crags, beautiful coastlines, and laid-back vibes, Sicily is becoming a must-visit climbing destination. Most tend to avoid this charming island in summer, however, when the heat makes strenuous exercise in the sun seem... a little undesirable. We have a solution: DEEP WATER SOLO!
Deep water solo is very similar to bouldering (think short climbs with no ropes), but instead of a crash pad you fall straight into the water. For this reason, it's the perfect sport for summer: a few strenuous moves, then when you reach the top, a refreshing dip into the sea...
Sicilian climbing isn’t just scenic... it’s historical! Many crags are set against ancient ruins or near sites once occupied by Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans... which means ascending rock faces that have witnessed thousands of years of human history!
